BREAKING: Bayelsa Deputy Governor rushed to hospital after collapsing in office
Yenagoa, the capital of Bayelsa State, has been thrown into tension on Thursday after Deputy Governor Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo reportedly collapsed in his office.
The incident happened around 1:30 pm, prompting an urgent response.
Eyewitnesses said the deputy governor appeared seriously unwell before being rushed to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Yenagoa.
Senator Ewhrudjakpo is now stabilized and receiving treatment in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at FMC. No official explanation has been given for the collapse, but sources indicate it could be related to a heart problem.
A source close to the deputy governor noted his demanding schedule, saying, “He’s a workaholic; he should find time to rest.”
Security operatives have cordoned off the hospital, and top government officials have visited to express concern. Attempts to reach the deputy governor’s media aide, Mr. Doubara Atasi, for comment were unsuccessful.
However, sources at the hospital told our correspondent that Ewhrudjakpo is receiving the best possible care and is stable.
