Bayelsa State Deputy Governor, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, was on Thursday hurriedly taken to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Yenagoa, after reportedly collapsing in his office.
Security personnel have since cordoned off the hospital premises, while several senior government officials have visited to show concern over his condition.
Efforts to reach his media aide, Mr. Doubara Atasi, for clarification were unsuccessful.
A member of the hospital’s management, however, confirmed that the deputy governor is receiving optimal medical attention and is currently stable.
A source close to the deputy governor noted his demanding schedule, saying, “He’s a workaholic; he should find time to rest.”
As of the time of filing this report, the Bayelsa State Government has not issued an official statement on the incident.
