Mojisola Lasbat Meranda, the first female Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, has stepped down from her position. Her resignation occurred on Monday, March 3, 2025, just over a month after she was elected on January 13, 2025.
During her address to the House, Meranda expressed gratitude to the members and staff for their unwavering support. She emphasized that while she is not one to give up easily, she felt compelled to relinquish her role as Speaker to facilitate a peaceful resolution to the ongoing crisis within the Assembly.
Her resignation paved the way for the return of Mudashiru Obasa as Speaker, despite significant opposition from some lawmakers.
