Senator Babafemi Ojudu is a journalist and lawmaker born in Ado-Ekiti on March 27,1961. He is the special adviser to President Buhari, and he is handling political matters for Nigeria's leader.

Beyond the fact that this journalist was born in Ekiti state, there are other very important details regarding his personality that tells better why he has been chosen for the vital role in this current dispensation.

1)Erudite Scholar

If there is any qualify that would be befitting for Ojudu, then it will be the term erudite scholar, as he showed great scholarly promise even from his youth.

2)Dauntless Journalist

After his journalistic exploits in Ife and Unilag, Ojudu started writing for African Concord magazine. He started as a staff writer and moved up to assistant www. However, in 1992, Ojudu resigned in protest of a request by MKO Abiola, the publisher, to apologise to the then President Ibrahim Babangida.

3)Respecter of everyone, Afraid of no one

Ojudu was arrested, tortured and detained several times during the Sani Abacha regime (1993–1998).

He was arrested and detained for three days at the notorious Shagisha prison in the outskirts of Lagos on August 11, 1996.

4)Man of the people

Ojudu is loved by the Ekiti people, and that fact was made evident when he formally declared that he would run for the Senate in August 2010. He left his post as Group Managing Editor of Independent Communications Network to run for office.

5) Man of integrity

Events in the political landscape of Ekiti took a sad turn for Ojudu, when on March 17, 2011, a Federal High Court in Abuja issued a judgment, recognizing the incumbent Senator Festus Bode-Ola as the ACN candidate for Ekiti Central.
