Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, the Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State, was rushed to the hospital on Thursday after collapsing at the Government House in Yenagoa.
The reason for his collapse remains unclear, but sources described the incident as serious. He was reportedly taken to the Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa, for immediate medical attention.
Attempts to verify the report with the hospital were unsuccessful, as the Public Relations Officer, Ben Akpedi, did not respond to calls.
Ewhrudjakpo’s media aide, Doubara Atasi, confirmed the incident but refused to provide further details, responding simply, “Yes,” before ending the call.
