APC Leader Rallies Behind Lagos Speaker Meranda

A well-known All Progressives Congress (APC) member in Apapa Ward 1, Hon. Bamidele Lateef Atoyebi, has urged party members to support Hon. Mojisola Meranda, the recently appointed Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly.

Speaking in Lagos, Atoyebi emphasized that the Speaker’s success depends on the party’s unity.

I’m urging everyone in our fantastic party to back Hon. Mojisola Meranda, the unstoppable new Speaker. Together, there is strength and achievement. If we work in one accord, she will achieve great feats for Lagos and our party,” he said.

Atoyebi also highlighted the 44-year-old Speaker’s impressive track record, including her tenure as Deputy Speaker and Chief Whip in the ninth Assembly.

He praised her philanthropic contributions and leadership skills, asserting, “Women possess natural leadership abilities. I am confident that Hon. Meranda will lead with distinction and flourish in her role.

As a committed lawmaker and community development advocate, Hon. Mojisola Meranda’s political career got underway.

A member of the APC, Meranda rose steadily through the ranks, serving as Chief Whip and Deputy Speaker before her historic election as Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly.

Her emergence marks a significant milestone, making her one of the few women to hold such a prestigious position in Lagos politics.

Known for her pragmatic approach, Meranda is celebrated for championing policies on gender inclusion and grassroots development.

Her ascendancy reflects the growing influence of women in Nigerian politics, a testament to her hard work and the party’s confidence in her leadership.
