Minutes after a strategic meeting involving ousted Lagos State Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, Speaker Mojisola Lasbat Meranda, Lagos State Attorney General Lawal Mohammed Alade Pedro (SAN), APC Chairman Cornelius Ojelabi, and 38 lawmakers at the assembly garden, Meranda is now presiding over today’s plenary session.
Obasa was however absent as lawmakers convened, with some APC chieftains in attendance.
There’s a strong indication that Mojisola Meranda would step down as the Speaker of the Lagos House of Assembly.
Earlier, the Lagos State Police Command had deployed personnel to the assembly complex to maintain security and prevent any disruptions.
Lawmakers praise Meranda for competent leadership as Speaker
Members of the Lagos State House of Assembly on Monday took turns to commend the legislative acumen, diligence, and performance of Speaker Mojisola Meranda within her short time in office.
Meranda assumed office on January 13, 2025, following the removal of former Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, who is reportedly poised for reinstatement.
During the plenary session, which began at about 2:20 p.m., Aro Moshood initiated the praise session, describing Meranda’s tenure as “positively life-transforming.”
Kehinde Joseph, representing Alimosho II, added, “You have made history with your resilience and humility. Your time may be short, but you have written your name in gold.”
