There was visible confusion and panic in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, on Thursday following reports that the Bayelsa Deputy Governor, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, collapsed in his office and was immediately rushed to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Yenagoa.
According to reports, the Bayelsa deputy governor was in his office when the event happened at 1:30 pm, which prompted an emergency response. When he was brought to the hospital’s emergency room, witnesses said he was in a terrible condition.
Senator Ewhrudjakpo is presently stable in the FMC’s Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Although the cause of his health crisis has not been officially disclosed, sources speculate that it might be connected to a cardiac issue.
A source close to the Bayelsa deputy governor noted his demanding schedule, saying, “He’s a workaholic; he should find time to rest.”
Top government officials have visited the hospital to voice concerns, and security personnel have sealed it off. Mr. Doubara Atasi, the deputy governor’s media assistant, was not reached for comment. However, our correspondent was informed by hospital sources that Ewhrudjakpo is stable and getting the finest care available.
As of the time of writing this report, no official statement has been released, but sources close to the Bayelsa Government House hinted that the health scare may be linked to a cardiac-related issue.
