Mojisola Meranda has stepped down amid the leadership crisis rocking the Lagos State Assembly, the Speaker.
But the crisis remain unresolved as Obasa’s removal divided the Assembly, and party’s leadership in the state.
Meranda said she resigned to protect the state assembly, adding that she is not a quitter.
“I take a bow as you as your Speaker,” she announced.
Before announcing her resignation, the state lawmakers took turns to commend her legislative acumen, diligence, and performance within her short time in office.
Showering praises on Meranda, Desmond Olusola Elliot thanked her, saying she demonstrated good leadership and led the house well.
Another lawmaker, Temitope Adewale Ifako-Ijaiye I, said, “We celebrate you for your quality service. You are a heroine of democracy. You came, you saw, you conquer. You are a victim of circumstance. This house is in tears.”
