The former Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has claimed that Mojisola Meranda voluntarily stepped down as the Speaker of the House during a recent peace meeting.
Speaking on Politics Today, a Channels Television program, on Thursday, Obasa stated that Meranda resigned at a meeting held at the Lagos House in Marina last weekend.
“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,” Obasa said.
He questioned the validity of any ongoing claims to the position, emphasizing that once a resignation is announced, the official privileges tied to the office are relinquished.
“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,” he added.
The situation continues to unfold as questions remain over the leadership structure of the Lagos Assembly.
