Mojisola Meranda has resigned from her position as Speaker of the Lagos State Assembly amidst the ongoing leadership crisis.
Despite her resignation, the crisis remains unresolved, as the removal of Obasa has caused a rift within the Assembly and the state’s party leadership.
In her resignation statement, Meranda explained that her decision was made to safeguard the integrity of the Assembly.
Before making the announcement, lawmakers took turns to praise her legislative skill, dedication, and accomplishments during her brief tenure.
Desmond Olusola Elliot expressed his gratitude, commending her leadership and saying she led the house effectively.
Temitope Adewale Ifako-Ijaiye I also praised Meranda, calling her a “heroine of democracy,” adding, “You came, you saw, you conquered. You are a victim of circumstance. This house is in tears.”
