The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed deep sorrow over the death of Bayelsa State Deputy Governor, Senator Lawrence Oborawharievwo Ewhrudjakpo, who reportedly collapsed and passed away earlier today.
In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Ini Ememobong, MNIPR, the party described Senator Ewhrudjakpo as a “trusted and faithful party man” and a “hero of political integrity.”
The statement noted that the news of his passing has thrown the PDP National Working Committee, led by Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, as well as the party’s members—particularly those in Bayelsa State, into deep shock and mourning.
“Senator Ewhrudjakpo was an honest and consistent politician who believed in and practised politics with principle,” the statement read. “He was a man of conviction rather than convenience; a leader whose life was defined by belief, integrity, and strength of character, virtues he upheld until his final moments.”
The PDP extended its heartfelt condolences to the government and people of Bayelsa State, describing the loss as “painful and irreparable,” and prayed for the repose of his soul.
Senator Ewhrudjakpo’s passing is regarded as a major loss to both the party and the state, given his reputation for principled leadership and dedicated public service.
I HOPE THERE IS NOTHING FISHY ABOUT HIS DEATH
