Reports are emerging that Rt. Hon. Mojisola Lasbat Meranda has allegedly resigned as the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly. However, there is currently no official confirmation of her resignation.
Meranda made history by becoming the first female Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly after the impeachment of Mudashiru Obasa on January 13, 2025.¹ Her leadership has been marked by controversy, with Obasa challenging the legitimacy of his removal.
The Lagos State House of Assembly has been embroiled in a leadership tussle since Obasa’s impeachment. The lawmakers have maintained that they are solidly behind Meranda, and that Obasa’s removal followed due process.
As the situation unfolds, it remains unclear what prompted Meranda’s alleged resignation or what implications this may have for the assembly’s leadership. Further updates are expected as more information becomes available.
