Lagos Assembly is reeling from a whirlwind of political drama! Just hours after being installed, Mojisola Meranda has reportedly resigned as Speaker, leaving the House in a state of utter confusion. The bombshell comes directly from Mudashiru Obasa, the former Speaker, who insists he never relinquished his position in the first place.
Speaking on Channels TV’s “Politics Today,” Obasa claimed Meranda announced her resignation during a meeting with Lagos APC leaders at Marina. This revelation throws the Assembly into further disarray, particularly after Obasa’s security detail was reinstated while Meranda’s was withdrawn.
“She herself said she had stepped down,” Obasa stated, defending the security changes. He maintains his removal by 36 members was illegitimate, citing procedural irregularities. Adding fuel to the fire, Obasa, under heavy security, presided over a session with only a handful of members present earlier in the day.
The unfolding saga leaves Lagosians questioning the true leadership of the Assembly, with both sides claiming legitimacy and the political landscape shifting by the hour. Stay tuned for further updates as this dramatic power struggle continues.
