Did you know that? Dele Momodu,the M.D of the Ovation Magazine once bags a first degree in Yoruba Language,and his second degree in mass communication at O.A.U Ife,he was recruited as a editor in the national Concord newspaper founded by Chief MKO Abiola,Infact the General Editor Mrs Doyin Abiola is the

one that employed him without him meeting the founder in early 88's,he was gifted as a good writer that the founder (MKO) always noted him any time he went through his write up in the then tabloid,eventually his path cross with the founder when the high Chief wanted to host the then super eagle national team,he told his wife Doyin that he would prefer shina Peter an ace musician for the celebration and his dillemna now is how do we got the afro juju exponent,which doyin mentioned momodu names to his hearing that he had a friendly tie with him,surprisingly dele was summoned to met the pillar of sport and after formal greeting,he was directed by MKO to contact shina peter,shina played his music tunes to the admiration of the chief and his host.
Later Dele left the Concord newspaper in the year 1990,which means that he worked for the establishment for only two years,from there he went to joined the then classique magazine as an highest paid editor throughout the country,when he wanted to left the concord firm he tried to notify his general editor Mrs Doyin and she offer him a prayer to prosper in his future endeavour,alas MKO didn't know about all the aforementioned happening,because he was not the one running the organization,but when he learnt about it nothing more he can did about it,ironically he soon met the young Dele again at the prestigious Sheraton hotel when the Chief was hosting Mallam sanni Zorro as the newly NUJ president,when Dele burst in to the venue ,MKO was in the middle of his speech and as he sighted dele, the high Chief had to pause a while and to the surprised of the young man he introduced him to the audience that day as a run away son of his,and both of them exchange pleasantries,after the Chief ask of Dele personal complimentary card,which Dele told the Chief that he was not in possession of anyone presently,wherass the present Ogun State commissioner for commerce Bimbo Ashiru was standing with the great man,then MKO turned to ashiru and asked him to gave him a pieces of jotter with pen,which he obliged then MKO inscribe on the jotter ",security house,pleased allowed the bearer anytime anyday" and MKO teased him that he should go and laminate it and kept it as his second visa,from the day on Dele became a great companion of the Abiola house to the extent that the first car he used were bought by the scion of the family Kola and even on his wedding day his father in-law handed his wife hand to Chief Abiola as a customary in Yorubaland,and he also got his second car gift from the great bussinessman, after the banning of all the old horse politician from like Jakande,Falae,Rimi,Ige and Yaradua from partisan politics by the regime of Ibrahim Babangida,Dele wrote a lenghty memo to the Chief and told him as a form of advise that he  had the premonition that he would soon dabble into partisan politics and he told him in the memo that he should beware of the northern mafia and reminded him what happen to him during the second republic,though as the highest donor of the then ruling party NPN and how he was disgraced out from the conservative part by Umoru Dikko and his cohort that the presidential ticket is not for the highest bidder,and he advised him in the memo also to joined the then progressive inclined party then SDP,but due to the chief likeness for him ,the chief later invited him for a chat to discussed the issue,MKO was thoroughly convinced and joined the party which made him eventually bag the party presidential ticket along with his soul mate Babagana Kingibe,Dele later became his director of media and publicity the post he was very versatile with,that why the former chief of army staff akinrinade always called him "ilu" (town or city) due to his God given ability to made friend easily.
     Dele fought gallantly to seen that the annulment were reverse back to the extent that he was detained briefly by the inglorious regime of IBB,after he was let off the hook,he hurriedly went into exile in the united kingdom,from their he started participating fully in the activities of the Freedom Radio later named Radio Kudirat in honor of the slain wife of MKO,he along with kayode fayemi and George Noah and co became a thorn of flesh to the adminstration of the dark google general,uncle dele was a regular visitor to MKO residence in chesterfield street in London,from their he and lady wuraola the late Abiola daughter started coordinating some activities also,as someone who got his first degree in Yoruba Language he was not difficult for him to played the role of "Saliu Elenugbooro" as a pseudo name in the radio kudirat, while in exile also he met the enfant terrible tokunbo afikuyomi who later became a Senator of the federal republic of nigeria.
Dele got the rumour of MKO death through the London times correspondent who accompany the so called United nation delegation to met  Abiola in detention at Abuja,the correspondence  told Dele that when the delegation persuaded the MKO to renounce his mandate which he was adamant and call their bluff,the delegation debate among their selves that MKO is becoming a big obstacle to the existence of the country and between MKO and the country one must give away,when the correspondent told Dele all the above situation he knows within his inner mind that they would soon been a grand conspiracy against the great Chief life,On the eve of MKO death Dele and afikuyomi visited Nduka Obiagbena, thisday tabloid publisher at his London home,after a lot of strategy and planning from the evening to the second day wee hour before the three musketter fall asleep,early in the morning of the next day when Obiagbena was seeing off his guest from his residence across the street,Dele sighted a London times newspaper and bought a copy,ah ah the bombshell MKO have gone!,
Due to the early info Dele had about the international conspiracy against the Chief he was just speechless and dumbfounded and he exclaimed that enigma shrewed bussinessman,pillar of sport,a devotee Muslim and a good friend of Christ follower have left the sinful world.
Dele hurriedly went to the late Chief house at Chesterfield in London,there he met Lady Wuraola who was almost drown with her own tear of cry, she was nearly fainted and deeply pained about all the whole journey from the begining as a co-actor of the struggle.
After the interment of the late Chief,Dele with some MKO loyalist were cajole to joined the killer government of Abdulsalam Abubakar,but roughly Ninety percent of the Chief loyalist swallow their honor with a plate of porridge to serve in the aforementioned government,Infact uncle Dele and few other thread the path of honor and we believe that HISTROY would smile on them no matter how long or tarry,not that uncle Dele were not given a good offer,but as a man of principle he detested it,rather he dabble into his call(journalism)and put down a good and strong structure for his Ovation Magazine both in Accra and Lagos.
Due to his inner instincts to change the country social order he went for the top job of the country to enable him had the opportunity to made something to be working in our country,but due to his stand on June 12 he have courted a lot of enemy for himself so far he can't be able to make any significant impact in his bid for the country presidency,but he can seen and heard,now all the traitor who bags all the various juicy offer from the dishonest MILLITARY junta during the turbulent period,our million question now is where are you now and I believe that majority of you peoples were now irrelevant when you are still alive,and uncountable among you peoples have tasted death which is the supreme prize any mortal must paid.
Uncle Dele lastly you are still soaring higher everyday and I prayed to the almighty that all those actor that betrayed MKO wouldn't know peace in their lifetime till they met their creator,unless they repent and seek for forgiveness.
