The Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum (SMBLF) has declared a 30-day mourning period for the late National Publicity Secretary of the pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, Mr. Yinka Odumakin.
The Forum, in a statement issued yesterday by its leader, Chief Edwin Clark, also announced the suspension of all official engagements during the mourning period.
The group therefore apologised to those organisations and bodies that had extended invitations to it over its inability to attend those functions during the period.
SMBLF further stated: “During the period, we will refrain from engaging in public activities, including our periodic meetings. This we believe is a modest and fitting honour to one of the most outspoken, inspirational and patriotic Nigerian ever.

The fiery spokesperson of Afenifere, a pan-Yoruba socio-political group, Comrade Yinka Odumakin, yesterday, died from lung complications, after testing negative to COVID-19 twice. He had earlier contracted the COVID-19 but had recovered and tested negative to the virus on two consecutive times. Odumakin had been discharged penultimate Monday from the Infectious Diseases Hospital (IDH), Yaba, Lagos, the isolation centre for COVID-19 patients.
But while still battling the disease, he was said to have been intubated and, in the process, suffered lung complications. According to close family sources, when the complications in his respiratory organs did not give way as quickly as expected, he was rushed to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja, where he eventually passed on yesterday.
