Lagos State House of Assembly Speaker, Rt. Hon. Mojisola Meranda, has defied pressure to resign and resumed her duties despite a siege on her office by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS). She was met with a warm reception from her colleagues and Assembly staff upon her return.
Speculation had been rife regarding her alleged resignation, with unconfirmed reports suggesting she had stepped down. However, her resumption at the Assembly has put an end to these rumors, reaffirming her position as Speaker.
The political tension escalated further when former Speaker, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, entered the House of Assembly with his supporters. Obasa, who was recently removed from office, has taken legal action to challenge his ousting, intensifying the power struggle within the Assembly.
Security remains tight at the legislative complex, with DSS operatives stationed to maintain order and prevent any potential unrest. Despite the uncertainty, Speaker Meranda’s return has been marked by enthusiastic support from House members, signaling a moment of stability amidst the ongoing turmoil.
The situation continues to develop, and further updates on the political landscape within the Lagos State House of Assembly are expected in the coming days
