Ikeja, Lagos state – The speaker of the Lagos state house of assembly, Mojisola Lasbat Meranda, has resigned from the position.
Legit.ng reports that the development comes after much pressure from APC heavyweights in Lagos state.
Meranda, the first-ever female speaker of the Lagos state house of assembly, spent just 49 days at the helm of affairs.
As reported by Vanguard on Monday, March 3, Meranda said she resigned to protect the state assembly, adding that she is not a ‘quitter’.
She said:
“I take a bow as you as your speaker.”
Meranda, the lawmaker representing Apapa I constituency, was sworn in as speaker on January 13, 2025, following the impeachment of Mudashiru Obasa over allegations of gross misconduct and abuse of office.
