“He is a predator…he brings down people, he is a fraud…you have to be careful with him…he uses women…he is a squatter, he doesn’t pay rent” – are some of the words Mukhtar Alexander Dan’iyan’s ex-wife said about him. AyeDee rose to fame when he told lies about Linda Ikeji, the Nigerian blogger and had her blog taken down by Google before Google eventually found out AyeDee had actually used them to settle old scores with Linda Ikeji whom he had asked to marry him. You should listen to this interview with his ex-wife and find out a little more about the man the People’s Democratic Party is now using to spread lies and propaganda against perceived opponents of the party and the Jonathan administration.

Here is what Professor Wole Soyinka had to say about the same ‘Mr. Aye Dee’ in his memoir, “You Must Set Forth at Dawn”

“One was a self-hating Igbira, a minority tribe from the Nigerian hinterland, whose yearning to be mistaken for a Fulani aristocratic scion had resulted in his changing his name from Daniyan to Dan’Iyan. Partnering him was an ambitious youth from Swarthmore College, Jude Uzowanne. The third member was a labor unionist from Edo in southern Nigeria, Tunde Okorodudu, an activist in his own right who fell under the spell of the fourth member and center of intrigue, the liaison officer for the U.S. Boston chapter, Maureen Idehen, a pharmacist who had worked closely with me and was central to the coordination of activities for much of the United States. Together, this Gang of Four—the accolade was spontaneously bestowed—succeeded in serving a timely lesson on the power lust even among a yet inchoate formation that sought to curb power at its most virulent and malignant. It was a low point in the career of the anti-Abacha movement, suddenly compelled to confront the banal distractions of trite intrigues and personal ambitions. Expelling the miscreants took its toll. The liaison officer, the Boston-based Maureen Idehen, made off with our scant funds, leaving behind a trail of bad checks.”
