Aare Dele Momodu, the Chief Executive Officer(CEO) and publisher of Ovation International Magazine needs no introduction.
Apart from being one of the glamour boys of celebrity journalism in Africa, the veteran journalist has had an incredible success in other areas outside of journalism.
Fondly called Bob Dee, the veteran journalist of international repute has continued to stay relevant in the scheme of things.
And his influence and connections in the corridors of power cannot be overemphasized. A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), Aare Momodu has continued to show that he is a man of his own.
Despite the many hurdles in the Nigerian political landscape, Bob Dee remains unruffled. His recent assignment as the Director of strategic communications of the Atiku/Okowa presidential campaign council in the recently concluded 2023 general election pitched him against many adversaries but he somehow managed to deliver on his brief in the face of intense attacks from within his party and the opposition voices.
He showed courage and loyalty – a rare commodity in the Nigerian political space.
But Aare Momodu’s greatest feat is the longevity of his world famous magazine, Ovation, a colorful publication known for celebrating the affluent and powerful in the society.
In a profession where there’s a high mortality rate, it takes something special to stay afloat for decades. To Aare Momodu’s credit, Ovation international and its sister publication, The Boss Newspaper, have continued to flourish in the media space, expanding their reach across the continent of Africa.
Another thing of commendation is the opportunity provided by Aare Momodu’s platforms for other aspiring journalists to blossom. Known for his large heart, Momodu is one of the few journalists in Africa with unrestricted access to political leaders and decision-makers across the world.
He has built a strong reputation for excellence and integrity over the years. And his bright personality has opened great doors of opportunities for him in high places.
Aare Dele Momodu has his hands in other juicy pies including entertainment, publishing and other businesses. A man of many parts – journalist, politician, father and a living husband.
The glamourous Ovation publisher has mastered the art of keeping friendships. And it’s no surprise that he has friends in every corner of the world.
No doubt, Aare Momodu’s honesty has endeared him to a lot of high profile individuals from all walks of life.
There’s no perfection in any man but the Ovation publisher is a fine example of a beautiful soul.
He is a philanthropist in his own right. To say that Momodu is still on top of his game is simply stating the obvious.
