Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mojisola Meranda, has dismissed reports claiming she has resigned from her position.
Speculation about Meranda’s resignation circulated on Wednesday, fuelled by an alleged circular dated February 17, 2025.
However, the document, which trended for two days on social media, bore no official signature.
Reacting through her Chief Press Secretary, Segun Ajiboye, Meranda described the reports as baseless.
“I’m in the office. The Speaker is in the office. I don’t know where that is coming from,” Ajiboye said.
