The former Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has alleged that the current Speaker, Mojisola Meranda, has stepped down from her position as the parliament leader.
Obasa made this claim on Thursday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
The embattled lawmaker stated that Meranda resigned during a peace meeting held at the Lagos House in Marina last weekend.
He explained, “At the meeting held in Marina, which saw the attendance of all party leaders, it was made clear, with hopes that all members were present, that Meranda herself declared her resignation. She made it known that she has stepped down.
“Now, when someone resigns from office, the associated paraphernalia is taken away. So, the question arises: Have you also resigned? Because we understand that part of the arrangement is for you to step down as well. Let them present the resignation letter. And if I were to resign, would I still be here? I’m sure you’d still address me as Speaker, even though we’ve never had a conversation before.”
