The immediate past minister of the Petroleum resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke has been scheduled to undergo cancer surgery sometime next week.
The family lawyer, Oscar M. Onwudiwe, who announced this today asked Nigerians to help her with prayer to go through the surgery successfully.
He said that Mrs. Madueke has been on what he called chemotherapy in the last few months, probably since she left the country after the handing over of power from her principal, President Goodluck Jonathan to President Muhammadu Buhari in May.
The lawyer hoped that the former minister would emerge from the surgery strong enough to confront the numerous allegations that have been leveled against her, including her current travail with the British security and legal authorities over alleged corruption and money laundering. [myad]
