  "account": "Filmmaker Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, known professionally as KWAM 1, has sparked reactions after a video emerged of him handing his daughter, Damilola Marshall, to Lagos State Deputy Governor and APC gubernatorial candidate, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, at a gathering. In the widely-shared clip, the veteran artist called for Damilola, affectionately known as Dami Marshal, before announcing, \"I hand her over to you.\" Hamzat responded with laughter, pointing Damilola to her seat as the lawyer seemed amused by his father's gesture. The video, shared on social media on Sunday, showed KWAM 1 singing in Yoruba during the moment, seemingly endorsing his daughter's political aspirations. Damilola, aspiring to be elected to the Lagos State House of Assembly to represent Surulere Constituency II in the 2027 elections, declared her ambition on March 17, 2026, on her Instagram page. She expressed her readiness to serve the Surulere Constituency 2 and pledged to represent the youth.",
