A former Resident Electoral Commissioner in Ekiti State, Ayoka Adebayo, has narrated how she cheated death twice this year.
Adebayo said she slumped in February and August but was resuscitated at the hospital.
She said her resuscitation was enough reason for her thank God.
The former REC stated this in Abeokuta during a thanksgiving service held to celebrate her 86th birthday on Friday.
She said her survival brought about the celebration of her 86th birthday, saying it is not in her character to celebrate birthdays.
“God brought back my life. I could not remember anything until I was resuscitated in the hospital,” she said.
In his address, former President Olusegun Obasanjo described Adebayo as a special wife in his family.
Obasanjo said, “Mama is special because she is the first wife to be educated in our family. Really, Ayoka is a wife in a million, even, when my brother died, the vacuum that could have been created by his untimely demise has been adequately filled by you.
“You said when you slumped, you did not die because God did not open the doors for you.
“You just slumped but, God is yet to say your time is up. You will live to be 90, 95 and more than your mother, who died at 106. You will live to be 110 years.”
