Afolabi Olabimtan (11 June 1932 – 27 August 2003) was a Nigerian politician, writer, and academic.[1] He was born in Ogun State and was later the senator for Ogun West from 1999 to 2003. He died in a motor accident in August 2003.[2]
Olabimtan achieved a PhD at the University of Lagos in African Languages.[1] He became an expert in the Yoruba language, and wrote a number of novels in the tongue, such as Kekere Ekun in 1967 and Ayanmo in 1973.
In 1999, Olabimatan was elected as a senator for the Alliance for Democracy party for Ogun West. He served just one term, standing down in 2003 in order to allow a younger successor to take his place.[3] Later in the same year he was killed in a motor accident.
