One Year After Death Of His Son, Father Of Late Yinka Odumakin Passes

The father of the late former Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, Comrade Yinka Odumakin died on Monday evening at the age of 116.

His death was coming about a year after the death of the late activist and spokesman of the Pan Yoruba Group.

Family sources said he breathed his last at exactly 5:30 pm.

Dr Joe Okei Odumakin who broke the news said she spoke with the old man earlier today and they had a brief prayer session along with other family discussions.

Nigerians would recall Pa Odumakin as one who stood firmly in faith as the pain of a huge loss ravaged him when Yinka Odumakin passed on last year.

Dr Joe Okei Odumakin said papa would be sorely missed as he was not only the patriarch but the rallying point for the entire family.

Until his passing on today, Elder Ezekiel Abioye Odumakin was the Baba Ijo of C.A.C. Moro land.

She said further announcements will be made as the family deems fit.
