Fuji music veteran Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, popularly known as KWAM 1, has stirred reactions on social media after a video showed 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 footage circulating online on Sunday, the musician called his daughter, popularly known as Dami Marshal, forward before telling Hamzat, “I hand her over to you.”
Hamzat responded with laughter and pointed Damilola towards her seat, while the lawyer appeared amused by her father’s gesture.
The video showed KWAM 1 singing in Yoruba as he introduced his daughter, in what appeared to be a playful show of support for her political ambition.
Damilola is seeking election to the Lagos State House of Assembly to represent Surulere Constituency II in the 2027 general elections.
She declared her ambition on 17 March 2026 in a post on her Instagram page, where she expressed her 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 shaped her understanding of governance, justice and the needs of her community.
She also pledged to represent young people, describing herself as prepared to serve and provide leadership if elected.
Damilola, the daughter of the Fuji star, currently serves as Senior Special Assistant to Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Tourism.
The video has drawn attention to her political aspirations ahead of the 2027 elections, with her father’s interaction with Hamzat adding to the online discussion surrounding her bid for a seat in the Lagos State House of Assembly.
