JUST IN! Meranda Resigns As Lagos Assembly Speaker

 

Mojisola Meranda has stepped down as Lagos State Assembly Speaker amid the leadership crisis rocking the State legislative house.

But the crisis remain unresolved as Obasa’s removal divided the Assembly, and party’s leadership in the state.

Meranda said she resigned to protect the state assembly, adding that she is not a quitter.

“I take a bow as your Speaker,” she announced.

Before announcing her resignation, the state lawmakers took turns to commend her legislative acumen, diligence, and performance within her short time in office.

Showering praises on Meranda, Desmond Olusola Elliot thanked her, saying she demonstrated good leadership and led the house well. 

Another lawmaker, Temitope Adewale Ifako-Ijaiye I, said, “We celebrate you for your quality service. You are a heroine of democracy. You came, you saw, you conquer. You are a victim of circumstance. This house is in tears.”
