The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the recent death of the Bayelsa State Deputy Governor, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo, as an inexplicable loss and a source of indescribable pain to the party and the state.

Dependable NG reports that the Deputy Governor tragically collapsed in his office on Thursday, was rushed to the hospital, and was subsequently pronounced dead.

This profound grief was conveyed in a statement released on Thursday by the factional National Publicity Secretary of the party, Ini Ememobong.

Ememobong stated: “We received with deep shock the news of the passing of the Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State and a trusted, faithful party man, His Excellency, Senator Lawrence Oborawharievwo Ewhrudjakpo, who reportedly collapsed and died earlier today.” The statement added that this devastating news has left the National Working Committee, led by Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, and the entire membership of the party, especially in Bayelsa State, in profound grief.

The party eulogized Senator Ewhrudjakpo as an honest and consistent politician who believed in and practiced politics with principle. The PDP described him as a person of conviction, not convenience, and a leader whose life was anchored on belief, integrity, and strength of character.

The statement concluded: “We are deeply saddened by the passing of this hero of political integrity, and we pray that God grants his soul eternal rest. We express our heartfelt condolences to the government and people of Bayelsa State on this painful and irreparable loss.”
