CPS Refutes a Report Claiming that Mojisola Meranda has Resigned as Lagos Speaker.

The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mojisola Meranda, has refuted claims that she has stepped down from her position. Segun Ajiboye, her Chief Press Secretary, dismissed the speculation on Wednesday. “I am currently in the office. The speaker is also present. I am uncertain about the origin of this information,” Ajiboye stated in a conversation with PUNCH Online. An online article published on Wednesday alleged that the Speaker had resigned. Additionally, a circular purportedly issued by Meranda on February 17, 2025, has been circulating for two days, asserting her resignation. However, investigations into the document shared on social media revealed that it bore no signature. The Lagos Assembly has been experiencing a leadership crisis since the former Speaker, Mudashiru, was ousted by a majority of the lawmakers in the House.
