Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre in Yenagoa on Thursday after suddenly collapsing in his office.
Dockaysworld reports that the incident happened around 1:30 pm, causing panic within the state government offices.
Staff members and security aides quickly moved him to the hospital, where doctors attended to him at the emergency unit before transferring him to the Intensive Care Unit for closer monitoring.
Hospital sources said he has been stabilized, though the cause of the health scare has not been officially confirmed.
Some close contacts said it might be linked to a heart-related issue, saying that he has been working under a very tight schedule in recent weeks.
Security officials have sealed off parts of the hospital premises while top government figures continue to visit to show concern.
Attempts to reach his media aide for comments were not successful, but medical personnel at the facility said he is receiving proper care and is in a stable condition.
