Meranda stepped down as speaker during peace meeting, says Obasa
The ousted speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, has claimed that the speaker of the House, Mojisola Meranda, had stepped down as the parliament leader.
Obasa stated this on Thursday during an interview with Channels Television’s programme, Politics Today.
The embattled lawmaker said Meranda resigned at the peace meeting held at the Lagos House in Marina last weekend.
He stated, “At the meeting held in Marian, 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.
“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.”
