Odumakin died on Saturday at the intensive care unit of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital.
Before his death, he was the National Publicity Secretary of the pan-Yoruba group, Afenifere.
His wife, in a statement, said the Afenifere spokesman died due to COVID-19 complications after recovering from the virus.
The sad event happened this morning (Saturday, 3/4/2021) at the intensive care unit of LASUTH where he was being managed for respiratory issues due to complications from COVID-19 which he had recovered from about a week ago,” she said.
I appreciate the outpouring of grief and sympathy from home and abroad as I mourn my irreplaceable soulmate. I urge us all to remain steadfast in the cause of the masses to which he dedicated his life.
