The deputy speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Nojeed Fatai, and the Chief Whip of the Assembly, Sanni Okanlawon, have resigned from their positions.
This comes as House members have praised Mojisola Meranda for listening to the All Progressives Congress and “letting go.”
Meranda has also resigned from her role as Speaker soon, as legislators honor her 49-day leadership so far.
“The entire chamber is in tears. You have restored the spirit of friendship, comradeship, and loyalty to this House. We have seen the sense of belonging and the sense that the party is supreme,” lawmaker Temitope Adewale said, while praising her leadership qualities.
“To my dear colleagues, this is not the end, this is Asiwaju’s House. Let’s not lose hope; things will change for the better,” he added.
“You did very well, but as we know, we are politicians, and as politicians, our party is supreme. We’re proud party men, and our party has spoken. I thank the deputy speaker and everyone that may be affected. We are around to obey the party; we are not ashamed of it. Madam Speaker, I pray for you; God Almighty will be with you.”
“You have listened to the Speaker and are willing to let go,” another lawmaker stated following her resignation.
