Fuji veteran, Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, popularly known as KWAM 1, has stirred reactions after a video showed him presenting his daughter, Damilola Marshall, to Lagos State Deputy Governor and All Progressives Congress governorship candidate, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, at an event.
In the now-trending footage, the veteran musician called his daughter, popularly known as Dami Marshal, forward before telling Hamzat, “I hand her over to you.”
Hamzat accepted the gesture with laughter and pointed Damilola towards her seat, while the lawyer appeared amused by her father’s action.
The footage, which circulated on social media on Sunday, captured KWAM 1 singing in Yoruba as he made the gesture, in what appeared to be a playful endorsement of his daughter’s political ambition.
Damilola is seeking election to the Lagos State House of Assembly to represent Surulere Constituency II in the 2027 general elections.
