Former Ogun state governor, Ibikunle Amosun, on Sunday, said his late mother carried him in her womb for three-and-half years.
Senator Amosun also revealed that his birth was nothing short of a “miracle” and many people couldnât believe he was a human being at birth, having stayed for such a long period before birth.
As reported by The Punch, the former governor gave the startling revelation at the 25th remembrance prayer for his late mother, Rafatu Sanusi-Amosun.
The event was held at the Amosun family residence in Abeokuta, the state capital. She died on October 27, 1999.
Speaking at the event, Amosun emphasised the importance of honouring oneâs parents even after their passing, a principle he said is supported by both the Quran and the Bible.
He said:
Amosun said it was one of the reasons his father named him âDuro-o-rike,â meaning, âStay and be given the best of care.â
The former governor explained that his motherâs pregnancy was a mystery to many, as the pregnancy appeared and disappeared over a prolonged period.
