Dami Marshal, daughter of Fuji musician Wasiu Ayinde, popularly known as K1 de Ultimate, has picked up a nomination form to contest a seat in the Lagos State House of Assembly.
Dami shared a video of herself with the form on Instagram on Friday, writing, “Youth Lokan. Not too young to run.”
She is seeking to represent Surulere Constituency II in the assembly.
Reports indicate that market women and members of the Arewa community have endorsed her bid, signalling support from grassroots groups within the constituency.
Dami had in March announced her intention to run for office.
“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 at the time.
The lawyer, who has practised for 12 years, said her experience has shaped her understanding of governance, justice and community needs.
“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 appealed to voters to support competence and progress, signing off with the message, “Youth Lokan!!! Igbega Eko, Ajumose wa ni.”
She is seeking to replace Mosunmola Sangodara, who currently represents the constituency under the All Progressives Congress.
A graduate of North America University, Houdegbe, Cotonou, Benin Republic, she was called to the Nigerian Bar on December 15, 2015. She later obtained a Master of Laws degree from the University of Lagos in 2022.
