Breaking: Bayelsa deputy gov collapses in Govt House
Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, has collapsed this afternoon at the Government House in Yenagoa.
He was rushed to the Federal Medical Center, Yenagoa for immediate treatment.
At the time of filing this report, there is no official statement about the incident. But Deputy Governor’s media aide, Doubara Atasi, has confirmed the development although he refused to give details, Punch reported.
It appears that Ewhrudjakpo, 60, has been sick for sometimes. He was conspicuously absent when Governor Douye Diri defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) last month.
Governor Diri decamped alongside all members of the state House of Assembly. But Ewhrudjakpo’s position in the matter, until now, isn’t known.
Details later…
