A video of Desmond Elliot, the lawmaker representing Surulere Constituency crying at the state House of Assembly has gone viral and generated mixed reactions on social media.

Elliot couldn't hold back his tears as he bade his farewell to Speaker Mojisola Meranda following her resignation from the role.

Meranda, the lawmaker representing Apapa Constituency 1 said she resigned in the interest of the All Progressives Congress.

The party faced a crisis after the lawmaker representing Agege Constituency 1, Mudashiru Obasa, was removed by the assembly members over gross misconduct and financial misappropriation.

However, Obasa argued that his removal didn't followed due process, hence he claimed to still be the speaker despite his deputy, Meranda, replacing him.

He showed up on Monday to resume duty as speaker while Meranda vacated the seat.
