Barrister Damilola Marshal, daughter of Fuji music legend K1 De Ultimate, has declared her intention to contest for a seat in the Lagos State House of Assembly ahead of the next election cycle.
Marshal, who currently serves as a Senior Special Assistant in Lagos State, made her political ambition known in a recent development that has begun generating reactions across political and social circles.
Her declaration shows a transition from an appointed government role into elective politics, positioning her among a growing number of young and politically connected Nigerians seeking legislative offices at the state level.
Although she’s contesting under surulere Constituency, insiders are saying that she’ll contest under APC platform.
Damilola Marshal’s father, K1 De Ultimate, is one of Nigeria’s most influential Fuji musicians, with decades of prominence and strong connections across social and political networks, particularly in the South-West.
He’s one of the frontliners to the sacred throne of Awujale of Ijebuland after the demise of Oba Sikiru Adetona.
As of the time of filing this report, further details regarding her campaign plans and official declaration event are still emerging.
