The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Princess Mojisola Meranda, has denied resigning from her position.
The Speaker added that she is presently in her office doing her job as the Speaker of the House.
Speaking through her Chief Press Secretary, Segun Ajiboye, the Speaker said, “I’m in the office. The speaker is in the office. I don’t know where that is coming from,” Ajiboye said.
“It is a lie from the pit of hell. There is no truth in the story. I am doing my work as the CPS, the Speaker is in her office as we speak and everybody is talking about his or her business. We do not know where the story is coming from. The Speaker has not resigned and there is no plan for that.
A letter dated February 17, 2025, allegedly released by Meranda had also been trending for two days, with the content claiming she had resigned.
However, checks on the letter circulating on social media showed it wasn’t signed by anyone.
What’s however contradictory in Meranda’s chief press secretary’s press release stating she’s in her office at the moment is that the Assembly has adjourned indefinitely. This means that her office is not functioning until further notice yet to be made known to members of the public.
The Lagos Assembly had been rocked with a leadership crisis since the former Speaker Mudashiru was removed in a coup-like manner on January 13.
