Senator Jummai Alhassan, a former Minister of Women Affairs popularly known as Mama Taraba, is preparing to undergo a knee replacement surgery.

The lawmaker has called on friends and well-wishers to pray for her, even as she gets set for the procedure.

Mama Taraba made the call via her official Twitter page, @SenAishaAlhassn.

“Ready for the theatre for a knee replacement surgery, pls pray for me. Allah Ya kaddara saduwanmu, Amin,” she tweeted.

She, however, did not disclose where she would be undergoing the surgical operation.
