There was massive confusion last night as news filtered in that newly elected Lagos Assembly Speaker, Mojisola Meranda had reportedly resigned her position as speaker. This was quickly rebuffed by close associates who sought anonymity.
In a letter making the rounds, her resignation dated February 17, 2025, said she is stepping aside by resigning and will rejoin her colleagues as a floor member.
The letter also claimed her resignation is with immediate effect.
“With your unflinching support, I made history as the first woman to become the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly and I value and cherish the solidarity freely given to me.
“My esteem Honourable members… I am sincerely grateful to each of you for your support and collaboration during my short but very interesting tenure.
“I leave this position to rejoin you on the floor of this hallowed chambers as honourable member, representing Apapa 1 Constituency.
“I shall continue to serve the good people of Apapa 1 Constituency in particular and our teaming Lagos in general”, she said.
Her associates who sought anonymity when TNG contacted them last night claimed the said resignation letter is fake and was the imagination of mischief makers.
