KWAM1’s daughter becomes SSA to Sanwo Olu

Basirat Damilola Marshall, daughter of Fuji maestro, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, a.k.a KWAM1 has joined Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu's cabinet.

Marshall will be serving as the Senior Special Assistant on Tourism to the Lagos State Governor.

This appointment follows a viral video of her father expressing gratitude to the governor and congratulatory messages on her Instagram page, @damimarshall_ on Thursday.

In the video which was taken at the coronation and birthday reception of Oba Sikirullah Apena on Thursday, he thanked Sanwo-Olu for appointing his daughter into his cabinet.

One Nigerian, Olanrewaju-Smart Wasiu congratulated her on the appointment, writing “Congratulations Barr. @damimarshall_ on your appointment as the Senior Special Assistant to the Lagos State Governor on Tourism. This is a deserving recognition for your hard work and contributions to our party”, to which she responded by saying “Thank you, sir.”

Before her appointment, Damilola was a principal partner at a law firm, Damilola Ayinde Marshal and Co.

Efforts to reach the Special Adviser, Media and Publicity to the Lagos State Governor, Gboyega Akosile, for confirmation proved abortive, as messages sent to his WhatsApp line were not responded to.

The fuji singer noted that it was his daughter, Damilola, who asked him to publicly thank the governor for her appointment.
