Basirat Damilola Marshall, daughter of veteran Fuji singer, King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, aka KWAM1, has been appointed by Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, as his Senior Special Assistant on Tourism.
This was confirmed by Basirat in a recent post on her Instagram page in which she displayed a circular announcing her appointment with the state government.
The Fuji singer is a loyalist of Nigeria’s President and former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu.
Truetells Nigeria had reported how KWAM 1 lamented the current economic hardship that President Bola Tinubu’s government had subjected Nigerians to within his first eight months in office.
Wasiu Ayinde was seen crying during a live performance while singing about how Tinubu’s performance had disappointed Nigerians so far.
The veteran singer said Tinubu was supported because they thought he would save Nigeria from the mess the previous administrations made but that unfortunately, Nigerians are suffering.
He said, “Dear Nigerians, I said make I greet you. I had told you that if Tinubu assumed office, we (citizens) would be blessed. I said the poor will have money, God would answer people’s prayers. It is true I know Asiwaju can do it.
“But my leader, see what people are saying now, the citizens are suffering now. Please, find something to do about it. Fuel and the dollars have become expensive in the country. People earning salaries cannot use it for anything meaningful.
“But I know Asiwaju, my leader, that you have pity. You are blessed by God before you decide to be Nigerian President. But please find something to (do about) Nigeria’s problems. The citizens are crying, they are wailing. The ‘sufferness’ and the struggle is getting much.”
The singer also pleaded with Tinubu not to get carried away by deception.
He urged him to listen to the wailing of the citizens and immediately find lasting solutions to the plights of Nigerians.
