Meranda remains Lagos Assembly Speaker, resignation reports untrue- Aides
The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mojisola Meranda, remains the substantive speaker, dismissing fresh reports of her resignation as fake news.
Victor Ganzallo, the Special Adviser on Media to Speaker Meranda, described the reports as fake news, untrue and handiwork of mischief makers.
Similarly, Meranda’s Chief Press Secretary, Segun Ajiboye, debunked the rumour on Wednesday.
“I’m in the office. The speaker is in the office. I don’t know where that is coming from.
“This is the handiwork of mischief makers who have been commissioned to spread fake news on social media to mislead the public and maintain pressure on the current leadership of the House. We are aware of this, and it will not succeed,” the aide stated.
The aide further explained that the latest resignation rumor stems from a “fake resignation letter” originally circulated on Monday by “paid bloggers.”
He reassured that Speaker Meranda remains in “high spirits” and fully in charge of the House’s affairs.
