Lagos Assembly Crisis: Meranda to Step Down on One Condition…

The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mrs Mojisola Meranda has agreed to step down from her position as the speaker giving a condition.

This is coming after the crisis arose in the Lagos Assembly which led to the intervention of some leaders of the All Progressives Congress, APC, where they all reached an agreement that Mrs. Meranda would step down from her seat.

However, according to the report from reliable sources to the press, Meranda might have agreed to step down from her position.

Additionally, it is suspected that she might be returning to her former position as the deputy speaker.

However, a source revealed that Meranda’s resignation would only be possible if it was done during plenary.

“If the Speaker would agree to resign, it has to be done during plenary when the House reconvenes.

“There are procedures for doing things like that. Madam Speaker cannot just resign like that without due process,” the source said.

Furthermore, a different revealed that the party is doing everything within their power to intervene and restore peace in the assembly.

“They are doing everything within their power to ensure there is peace in the Assembly. Some of our leaders including former APC National Chairman, Bisi Akande; former Ogun State governor, Aremo Olusegun Osoba; and Chairman of the Board of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, Pius Akinyelure, stepped in to mediate,” the source revealed.
