Lagos Assembly Speaker, Meranda, denies resignation rumour

The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mojisola Meranda, has denied reports claiming that she has resigned from her position.

Meranda’s aide said the rumors are the work of “mischief makers”.

“This is the handiwork of mischief makers working for the impeached Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, who have been commissioned to spread fake news on social media to mislead the public and maintain pressure on the current leadership of the House. We are aware of this, and it will not succeed,” the aide stated.

The aide further explained that the latest resignation rumor stems from a “fake resignation letter” originally circulated on Monday by “paid bloggers.”

“I urge members of the public to ignore such reports, as they are fake, unfounded, and without any iota of truth,” the aide emphasized.

He reassured that Speaker Meranda remains in “high spirits” and fully in charge of the House’s affairs.
