All Police escort guarding the Speaker of the Lagos House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mojisola Meranda and those safeguarding the Lagos House of Assembly have been withdrawn with immediate effect, leaving the house and the speaker vulnerable to attack.
A source from the Assembly said, as we speak, all security escort has been withdrawn from the Speaker, and she is now on her own.
According to the source, “The Speaker is vulnerable and open to attack. This is the situation of things now”, it said.
It was gathered that after the intervention of party leaders, there is speculation the Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly, Mojisola Lasbat Meranda, may resign her position, paving the way for either David Setonji or Wale Rauf.
It was gathered that over the weekend, the former All Progressives Congress (APC) national chairman Bisi Akande, former Ogun State governor Olusegun Osoba, and Pius Akinyelure, Chairman of the Board of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited and members of the Governor Advisory Council (GAC) met, with principal officers in the Assembly,urging Meranda to step down and return to her former position as Deputy Speaker.
Reason behind the appeal for Meranda to resign is for regional representation in State Leadership
