The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) later confirmed his death in an official statement.
Ewhrudjakpo, who served alongside Governor Douye Diri from February 14, 2020, was widely regarded as a loyal public servant, a dedicated administrator, and a committed party stalwart.
Before becoming deputy governor, he represented Bayelsa West Senatorial District at the National Assembly.
His sudden passing has thrown the state into mourning, with condolences pouring in from political leaders, colleagues, and citizens across the country.
The Bayelsa State Government is yet to announce official funeral arrangements or details regarding his successor, as required by constitutional provisions.
Ewhrudjakpo is survived by his wife, children, and extended family.
