This was said in a widely circulated video of her father thanking the governor and in the congratulations that were shared on Thursday on her Instagram account, @damimarshall_.
The now-viral video shows her father, KWAM1, performing live on stage during Oba Sikirullah Apena’s birthday celebration and coronation on Thursday, and praising Sanwo-Olu for naming his daughter to his cabinet.
The Fuji singer said that his daughter Damilola pushed him to publicly thank the governor for her appointment.
Olanrewaju-Smart Wasiu, a Nigerian, tweeted to congratulate her on her new role: “Barrister @damimarshall_, congratulations on your appointment as the Senior Special Assistant to the Lagos State Governor on Tourism.” “This is a well-deserved acknowledgement for your diligent efforts and valuable contributions to our celebration,” she replied, “Thank you, sir.”
Balogun Basia, another person, wrote: “Please join me in congratulating my friend K1 and the entire family on my daughter Barrister Basirat Damilola Marshall’s appointment as the Special Assistant to the Governor of Lagos State on Tourism.” Damilola, insha Allah, Alaumoh Amin, this will be the start of many wonderful things for you and your siblings.
Damilola was a principal partner in Damilola Ayinde Marshal and Co. until her appointment.
