Bayelsa State Deputy Governor, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) in Yenagoa on Thursday after he reportedly collapsed in his office.
Security personnel immediately cordoned off the medical facility, while senior government officials visited to assess the situation and express concern.
Efforts to obtain comments from the deputy governor’s media aide, Doubara Atasi, were unsuccessful as of press time.
A member of FMC’s management, who spoke anonymously, confirmed that Ewhrudjakpo is receiving “the best possible care” and is in stable condition.
The Bayelsa State Government has yet to issue an official statement on the incident.
