“We Live in Fear”: Lebanese Wife of AA Oil CEO Alhaji Aliyu Abubakar Appeals for Government Intervention
Joel Ajayi
Mrs. Suheir Aliyu Abubakar, the Lebanese wife of prominent businessman and CEO of AA Oil, Alhaji Aliyu Abubakar, has issued a passionate appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the Ministry of Women Affairs, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, members of the National Assembly, and other well-meaning Nigerians to intervene in what she describes as a “worsening and traumatic” situation threatening her safety and that of her children.
According to Mrs. Abubakar, her marital troubles intensified after her husband issued multiple court summons containing conflicting claims regarding the status of their marriage. One summon reportedly indicated that he no longer wished to continue with the union and had accepted an abandonment dating back to 2017. Another summon dated November 14 allegedly stated that the marriage ended in 2018, urging the court to confirm the divorce and compelling her to vacate their residence.
She said these contradictory legal actions have left her confused and vulnerable, heightening her fears of being forcefully removed from her home without adequate protection for herself and her children.
Mrs. Abubakar accused her husband of subjecting her to prolonged emotional distress and neglect, noting that she has endured escalating threats that could leave her and her children homeless. She narrated how the situation further deteriorated when her husband allegedly threatened to evict them from the house, an experience she described as traumatic and deeply unsettling.
“I am living in fear. I don’t know what will happen next. I just want safety for myself and my children,” she pleaded.
Calling for immediate intervention, the Lebanese mother implored authorities, human rights advocates, and concerned Nigerians to help prevent what she believes is an attempt to wield power and influence to render her and her children destitute.
As the marital dispute deepens, Mrs. Abubakar says her greatest concern remains the uncertainty surrounding their welfare and the possibility of being left on the streets without shelter or protection.

Nigeria at 66: ‘We Must Not Lose Faith in Nigeria’ — FCC Boss Omidiran
Joel Ajayi
The Executive Chairman of the Federal Character Commission (FCC), Honorable Hulayat Motunrayo Omidiran, has called on Nigerians to use the occasion of the nation’s 66th Independence Anniversary to renew their faith in Nigeria, strengthen national unity and recommit themselves to building a more inclusive and prosperous country.
In her 66th Independence Day message, Hon. Omidiran described October 1 as more than a celebration of freedom, saying the anniversary provides an opportunity for Nigerians to reflect on the country’s journey, acknowledge its progress and challenges, and renew the collective determination to build a nation where every citizen has a sense of belonging.
According to the FCC Executive Chairman, the Federal Character Principle remains particularly important to the quest for national cohesion because equitable representation promotes a sense of ownership and confidence in the Nigerian project.
“Nigeria is a nation of great diversity and
enormous potential. Our responsibility is to ensure that this diversity becomes a bridge that connects us rather than a barrier that separates us. Every Nigerian deserves to feel that he or she belongs to this country and has a role to play in its development,” Omidiran said.
The FCC boss called on government institutions at all levels to remain committed to fairness, equity, accountability and inclusive governance, while urging citizens to support efforts aimed at strengthening national institutions and promoting peaceful coexistence.
“We must not lose faith in Nigeria. The challenges before us are real, but so are the opportunities and the enormous human and natural resources available to us. Every citizen has a responsibility to contribute his or her own quota to building the Nigeria we desire,” she stated.
The FCC Executive Chairman also urged young Nigerians to remain committed to acquiring knowledge and skills, entrepreneurship, innovation, sports and other productive ventures, describing the youth as critical stakeholders in the country’s future.
“As we celebrate 66 years of independence, let us remember that the Nigeria we want cannot be built by government alone. It requires the commitment of all of us – leaders and citizens, young and old, from every part of the federation. Together, we can build a Nigeria where justice, fairness, opportunity and peace are available to all,” she said.
Omidiran reaffirmed the FCC’s commitment to the effective discharge of its constitutional mandate and to supporting efforts that promote equitable representation and inclusive national development across the federation.
The former lawmaker wished Nigerians at home and abroad a peaceful and memorable 66th Independence Anniversary, praying for continued peace, stability, prosperity and progress for the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“Our differences should never be greater than our common identity as Nigerians. Let us continue to choose unity over division, service over self-interest and hope over despair. The Nigeria of our dreams is possible if we all play our part,” Omidiran said.
“On behalf of the Federal Character Commission, I congratulate all Nigerians on this 66th Independence Anniversary. May this occasion renew our patriotism, strengthen our unity and inspire us to work together for a stronger, more equitable and prosperous Nigeria. May God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” she added.
