Following rumours of her impending resignation, members of the Lagos State House of Assembly approved a vote of confidence in Speaker Mojisola Meranda.

During Monday’s plenary, Oladipo Ajomale, a member representing Oshodi-Isolo constituency 2, proposed the resolution, expressing the assembly’s confidence in Meranda’s leadership.

The motion was seconded by Gbolahan Ogunleye, who represents Ikorodu Constituency 1.

Following this, Temitope Adewale, the majority leader, moved a motion to adjourn plenary indefinitely, which was unanimously approved by the house.

Earlier in the day, security operatives sealed the speaker’s office as speculation grew over Meranda’s possible resignation.

Police and task force officers were stationed in vehicles around the complex, with some patrolling the premises to maintain order.

Meranda became the first female speaker of the Lagos assembly on January 13, after Mudashiru Obasa was removed while he was out of the country.
