FORMER Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly Mojisola Lasbat Meranda has been sworn in as the Deputy Speaker of the legislative arm in the state.
The lawmaker who represents Apapa Constituency I announced her resignation earlier today 3 March as lawmakers re-elected her as the Deputy Speaker of the Assembly. She was immediately sworn in.
Meranda stepped down amid the leadership crisis rocking the Lagos State Assembly.
The lawmakers commended her leadership style and for bringing peace to the Lagos State House of Assembly.
They also commended her strength and humility for obeying the rules and regulations of the All Progressives Congress.
Meranda emerged as Speaker of the House following the impeachment of Mudashiru Obasa, who was the immediate past Speaker of the House.
But the crisis remained unresolved as Obasa’s removal divided the Assembly and party’s leadership in the state.
