In a statement issued on Wednesday by her Chief Press Secretary, Segun Ajiboye, the Speaker made it clear that she has neither stepped down nor has any intention of doing so.

“We do not know where the story is coming from. The Speaker has not resigned, and there is no plan for that,” the statement concluded.

Meranda’s clarification aims to put an end to the swirling speculations and reaffirm her commitment to steering the affairs of the House of Assembly amidst the ongoing political developments.
