Bayelsa State Deputy Governor, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, was rushed to the hospital on Thursday after collapsing at the Government House in Yenagoa.
The sudden incident reportedly happened on Thursday afternoon, creating tension among officials present at the scene. Although the exact cause of his collapse is still unknown, sources described the situation as “serious.”
He was immediately taken to the Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa, where medical personnel are attending to him.
Efforts to get an official comment from the hospital were unsuccessful, as the hospital’s Public Relations Officer, Ben Akpedi, did not answer calls.
However, the deputy governor’s media aide, Doubara Atasi, briefly confirmed the development. When asked about the incident, Atasi replied, “Yes,” but declined to provide any additional details before ending the call.
