The Lagos State House of Assembly has been thrown into deeper chaos as former Speaker Mudashiru Obasa alleges that his successor, Mojisola Meranda, has resigned. In a dramatic turn of events, Obasa, speaking on Channels TV’s ‘Politics Today,’ claimed Meranda announced her resignation during a meeting with APC leaders at Marina. This claim has intensified the already heated dispute over the Assembly’s leadership.
Obasa, who maintains his earlier removal was unlawful, pointed to the shifting security details as further evidence of the ongoing power struggle. He questioned the withdrawal and subsequent restoration of Meranda’s security, stating that such actions align with a resignation.
The situation remains highly volatile, with conflicting reports circulating. Obasa’s insistence on holding plenary sessions with a minimal number of members underscores the deep division within the Assembly. This unfolding drama raises serious questions about the stability of the Lagos State legislative body.
