Damilola Marshal, daughter of renowned Fuji musician King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (K1 De Ultimate), has formally declared her intention to run for a seat in the Lagos State House of Assembly.
Marshal, who currently serves as Senior Special Assistant on Tourism to Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, made the announcement in a post shared on Instagram on Tuesday. In the post, the legal practitioner expressed 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.
With over a decade of legal experience, Marshal noted that her career has equipped her with insights into governance, justice, and grassroots concerns.
“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.
“As a young woman, I believe this is exactly what my people need right now, and that is why I decided to step forward,” she added.
She also urged voters to prioritise capability and development, ending her message with: “Youth Lokan!!! Igbega Eko, Ajumose wa ni.”
Marshal aims to succeed Mosunmola Rotimi Sangodara, who currently represents the constituency under the All Progressives Congress.
The aspiring lawmaker is the second daughter of K1 De Ultimate and holds a law degree from North America University, Houdegbe in Cotonou, Benin Republic. She was called to the Nigerian Bar on December 15, 2015, and later earned a Master of Laws degree from the University of Lagos in 2022.
