National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has congratulated ace journalist, prolific writer and author, media entrepreneur, politician and socialite, Dele Momodu, on his 60th birthday.
Tinubu commended Momodu for his achievements over the years, saying the ace journalist has earned his innumerable stripes through dint of hard work.
“I congratulate and rejoice with you on attaining 60 on May 16, 2020. You have done remarkably well for the journalism profession and for your country. You fought relentlessly for the entrenchment of democracy in Nigeria and for the promotion of good governance and social justice.
“While traversing the media landscape and forging what was to become an exciting and illustrious career, culminating in the founding of the Ovation Media Group, Momodu was also actively involved in pro-democracy activities.
“For that, you’re forced on exile by the late Abacha military junta, like yours sincerely, during which time both of us, along with some other progressives, continued the struggle for the revalidation of the annulled June 12 election.
“Momodu is not only a pro-democracy activist but also a political actor and indeed at one time a presidential
candidate.
“Also remarkable is his regular, incisive and helpful interventions in social and governance issues.
“I salute your courage, tenacity, resilience, sagacity and commitment to worthy causes and loyalty to friendship.
“On this milestone age, I join the family, friends and associates of our highly-admired Bob Dee in wishing him a most fulfilling birthday even at this moment that demands of all of us preventive and physical distancing measures in the wake of the ravaging Coronavirus pandemic,” Tinubu said.
