The death of the Spokesperson for Afenifere has been described by many as a great loss to Nigeria.
At Odumakin’s country home in Moro, his relatives, indigenes of the state and close associates received his corpse with wailing.
The widow, Dr Joe Okei-Odumakin, described him as her friend, husband and soul mate.
“Here is Yinka’s corpse, he is my friend, comrade, my soul mate and husband; in fact, I am his part. If I come back to this world over and over, I will get married to him.
“We are grateful to Osun State for the great reception at this sober moment.
“When a spokesperson stops speaking, you know how heavy it is, but our consolation is that Yinka’s ideals and legacies live forever.
“He was a human rights fighter and what he fought for will forever remain unquenched”, she said.
The funeral service was held today.
