Despite a recent siege on her office by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) and mounting pressure to resign, Lagos State House of Assembly Speaker, Rt. Hon. Mojisola Meranda, has steadfastly refused to step down.

On Monday, she resumed her duties, receiving a warm welcome from her colleagues and Assembly staff.

The crisis began when DSS operatives stormed the Assembly complex, sealing off the Speaker’s office and preventing her access. This unprecedented action led to chaos within the legislative body, with many lawmakers expressing outrage and describing the event as an “assault on democracy.”

Amidst the turmoil, reports emerged that Speaker Meranda was under intense pressure to resign, with sources suggesting she might step down to pave the way for the reinstatement of former Speaker Mudashiru Obasa.

However, demonstrating resilience, Speaker Meranda returned to her duties, receiving a rousing reception from her fellow lawmakers and Assembly staff. Her refusal to bow to external pressures underscores her commitment to her role and the legislative process.

This development highlights the ongoing power struggle within the Lagos State House of Assembly, reflecting deeper political tensions and the challenges of maintaining legislative independence in the face of external interventions.
