The leadership crisis within the Lagos State House of Assembly took a new turn on Monday as Mojisola Meranda, who recently resigned as Speaker, was immediately sworn in as the Deputy Speaker of the House.
Her swearing-in followed her nomination for the position, signaling a rapid shift in the ongoing power struggle within the legislative arm.
Meranda’s resignation came amid internal turmoil that has left the assembly and the ruling party leadership in the state deeply divided.
The crisis, primarily centered around Speaker Mudashiru Obasa’s removal and subsequent return, continues to create tension within the House.
Despite Meranda’s transition to Deputy Speaker, the broader leadership dispute remains unresolved, with lawmakers and party stakeholders still at odds over the assembly’s direction.
Further developments are expected as negotiations continue within the House and the party hierarchy.
