Your resignation paved the way for a new chapter, but your unwavering commitment to the party and state remains unshakeable. Your contributions will forever be etched in our collective memory, and your legacy will continue to inspire generations to come.
I salute you, Rt. Hon. Lasbat Mojisola Meranda – a paragon of leadership, a trailblazer, and a shining exemplar of selfless service.

You will forever be in our hearts, and we will continue to stand by you, supporting you every step of the way. For we believe in you, and we know that you will always make us proud.
