"Ghana is a successful story. Those of us from Nigeria come here because we see Ghana's success and we want to share in it. Ghana is blessed to have a leader like President Nana Akufo-Addo and former President John Mahama and that makes Nigerians jealous," he said recently in a discussion on Starr FM's Starr Chat.
He however advised against the practice where one new government runs down their predecessors, warning that it does not help continuity.
"What I've seen in Africa is that when new leaders come, they want to dismantle the previous government and it doesn't help with continuity," he said.
Touching on his support for former President Mahama whom he describes as a 'total cosmopolitan human being', he said "I supported President Mahama, he was a good President".
"The easiest way to get rid of a government in is to accuse them of corruption and sometimes, that's what people want to hear."
Chief Dele Momodu is the publisher of Ovation International, one of the most popular news magazines in Africa.

He started out as journalist and has been involved in politics in his home country since the 1980s when he was moving with the late Chief Moshood Abiola.
Chief Momodu contested the 2011 presidential elections in Nigeria and lost to Goodluck Jonathan.
Meanwhile, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has reacted to the letter written by Chief Olusegun Obasanjo to President Muhammadu Buhari, saying it confirmed that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has failed Nigerians.
Atiku made this comment on Wednesday, January 24, when he paid a visit to Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti in furtherance of his political ambition.
Atiku said since his return home to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ekiti is the first state he is visiting for consultations with party leaders.
According to him, he and Fayose struck a good relationship since his first tenure as governor and he was vice president.
