Famous Nigerian Fuji legend, Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, popularly addressed as KWAM 1, has ignited social media reaction after a video emerged showing him presenting his daughter, Damilola Marshall, to Lagos State Deputy Governor and All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship candidate, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, at an event.
In the viral footage, the veteran musician called his daughter, widely known as Dami Marshal, forward before telling Hamzat, “I hand her over to you.”
Hamzat responded with laughter and gestured towards a seat for Damilola, who appeared amused by her father’s action.
The video, which circulated on social media on Sunday, 18 October, 2026 showed KWAM 1 singing in Yoruba while making the gesture, in what appeared to be a light-hearted show of support for his daughter’s political ambition.
Damilola is seeking to represent Surulere State Constituency II in the Lagos State House of Assembly in the 2027 general elections.
She announced her intention to contest the seat on March 17, 2026, through a post on her Instagram page, where she expressed readiness to serve the constituency.
“I am excited to share that I, Barr. Damilola Ayinde Marshal, am stepping forward to serve the good people of Surulere Constituency 2 at the Lagos State House of Assembly,” she wrote.
The lawyer said her 12 years of legal practice had given her valuable insight into governance, justice and the needs of the community she hopes to represent.
She also pledged to champion the interests of young people, describing herself as prepared to serve and lead if elected.
Damilola until recently served as Senior Special Assistant to Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Tourism.
