The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs. Didi Esther Walson-Jack, has expressed deep sorrow over the sudden death of the Bayelsa State Deputy Governor, Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo.
In a condolence message to the Governor of Bayelsa State, Senator Douye Diri, Mrs. Walson-Jack said words were insufficient to ease the pain of such a profound loss, praying that God grants the governor, the bereaved family, and the people of the state the strength and comfort to bear it.
She described the late deputy governor as a distinguished son of Bayelsa, a remarkable public servant, and a leader whose service, character, and loyalty stood out nationally.
“Senator Ewhrudjakpo was a brother with whom I had the distinct privilege of working on several state assignments as builders of our dear Bayelsa State, the glory of all lands,” she said.
