Lagos State Assembly Speaker Mojisola Meranda Gains Access to Chambers Amid Leadership Tussle

In a significant development, Mojisola Meranda, the Speaker of the Lagos State Assembly, has finally gained access to the chambers of the House after hours of heavy security presence. This incident is the latest twist in the ongoing leadership tussle rocking the House of Assembly.

The crisis began after Mudashiru Obasa was removed as the Speaker, and Meranda took over, making history as the first female Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly since its inception in 1979. The situation has been tense, with various factions vying for control of the Assembly.

On Monday, the roads leading to the Assembly complex were cordoned off by security personnel, sparking concerns about the safety of lawmakers and staff. The heavy security presence was a clear indication of the escalating tensions within the Assembly.

Meranda’s access to the chambers is a significant milestone in the power struggle, but it’s unclear how the situation will unfold. The leadership tussle has raised concerns about the impact on governance and the welfare of the people of Lagos State.

As the situation continues to evolve, lawmakers, stakeholders, and the general public are watching closely to see how the crisis will be resolved. The Lagos State Assembly is expected to issue an official statement on the matter soon.

In the meantime, the people of Lagos State are eagerly awaiting a resolution to the crisis, which has already caused significant disruptions to the legislative process. One thing is certain – the outcome of this leadership tussle will have far-reaching implications for the future of the Lagos State House of Assembly and the state as a whole.
