Damilola Marshal, daughter of Fuji music legend Wasiu Marshall, popularly known as K1 De Ultimate or KWAM1, has declared her intention to contest for a seat in the Lagos State House of Assembly.
Currently serving as Senior Special Assistant on Tourism to Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Damilola revealed her plan on Instagram on Tuesday, expressing her desire to represent Surulere Constituency 2.
“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.
A lawyer with 12 years of experience, Damilola said her professional background has shaped her understanding of governance, justice, and community needs.
“I am a woman of excellence and results. I am ready to serve and lead. With my background, I am fully prepared and ready to fight for what truly matters. I promise to be the voice of the youths in the House,” she added.
She urged voters to support competence and progress, signing off with: “Youth Lokan!!! Igbega Eko, Ajumose wa ni.”
Damilola is aiming to succeed Mosunmola Sangodara, the current representative of the constituency under the All Progressives Congress.
