Former Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, shared that his late mother carried him for three and a half years. He made this revelation during the 25th remembrance prayer for his mother, Alhaja Rafatu Sanusi-Amosun, at the family residence in Abeokuta.
According to him, “Beyond respecting our parents when they are no longer around, the best gift we can offer them is prayer. I spent three and a half years in my mother’s womb. My father, who was not present at the time, even arranged for fuel to be bought to b+rn my body if I did not survive the birth.
When I was finally born, many people fled, unable to believe I was a human being, but here I am today, alive and well.”
Amosun explained that this was one reason his father named him “Duro-o-rike,” which means “Stay and be given the best of care.”
The former governor shared that his mother’s pregnancy was a mystery to many, as it seemed to appear and disappear over an extended period.
“When I was finally born, many people fled, unable to believe I was a human being, but here I am today, alive and well,” he added.
Amosun’s elder brother, Abidoye Amosun, confirmed the story, adding that three days before the naming ceremony, their father sent a traditional gift along with a letter listing the newborn’s names.

Reflecting on the fleeting nature of life, Amosun called for prayers for his late mother and all departed souls.
The remembrance ceremony saw the attendance of prominent Islamic leaders from Egbaland and beyond, former aides from Amosun’s eight-year tenure, and numerous family members.

okunenyeife_cko: most women who had fibroids undiagnosed giving her pseudo-pregnancy belly and they get to conceive ontop of it and God saves the baby to win the competition between the fibroid and foetus always confuse this, saying the carried pregnancy for years. by 42weeks and above of the baby does not come out expect an unalive baby cos the placenta has no much impact to help them beyond that.
