Uproar As Sanwo-Olu Appoints KWAM1’s Daughter As SSA
Lagos State has been swept up in a whirlwind of excitement and debate as Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu announces the appointment of Basirat Damilola Marshall, daughter of the renowned Fuji maestro King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall (KWAM1), as the Senior Special Assistant on Tourism.
The announcement, which first surfaced in a viral video featuring KWAM1 expressing gratitude to the governor during a live performance, has since sparked a flurry of congratulatory messages across social media platforms. The Fuji legend’s daughter, known for her legal acumen as a principal partner at Damilola Ayinde Marshal and Co, is now stepping into a pivotal role in the state’s cabinet.
While many have praised the appointment as a well-deserved recognition of Basirat’s hard work and dedication, others have raised eyebrows, questioning the merit and implications of such a high-profile appointment within the entertainment industry’s elite.
As the news spreads, the Lagos State Governor’s office remains silent, with no official confirmation from the Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Gboyega Akosile. This silence only adds to the growing speculation and anticipation surrounding the appointment’s impact on Lagos State’s tourism sector and the broader implications for governance and meritocracy in Nigeria’s bustling metropolis.
