All the security aides attached to Speaker Mojisola Meranda of the Lagos State House of Assembly have been withdrawn.
Reporters discovered that as of Thursday morning, security details attached to the speaker including police officers have been withdrawn, which seems to have made Speaker Meranda vulnerable.
The development comes amid information that Meranda may resign from the position as Speaker, as the move follows intervention of stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress including Chief Bisi Akande and Aremo Olusegun Osoba, who were former governors of Osun and Ogun states respectively.
Meanwhile, the meditating panel led by the duo met last Sunday with key stakeholders at the House including members of the Governance Advisory Council at the Governor’s Lodge in Marina. The panel, according to GAC members at the meeting, are recommending the resignation of Mudashiru Obasa and that Meranda should also step down for a new lawmaker from Lagos West to take the mantle of the House leadership.
