- The speaker resigned after a meeting with Mudashiru Obasa, Cornelius Ojelabi, chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Lawal Pedro, the attorney-general of Lagos state.
Mojisola Meranda, who serves as the speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, has officially resigned from her position in the legislative body.
Before she stepped down on Monday, several key officials in the House had also resigned sequentially, leading to the swift appointment of their successors.
The impeached speaker Mudashiru Obasa for allegedly invading her office and presiding over an “illegitimate plenary”.
On Thursday, Obasa entered the assembly complex and presided over a “plenary session” with four lawmakers.
Obasa has rejected his removal as speaker by 36 members of the assembly, insisting that the process was flawed.
His defiance has deepened divisions within the assembly, with most lawmakers accusing him of poor leadership.
Meanwhile, 26 legislators loyal to Meranda appeared in court on Friday over a lawsuit filed by Obasa, challenging his removal from office.
