Her victory was less of a battle and more of a coronation, as several aspirants, Hon Dr Alli Sanusi, Hon. Rasaq Ibrahim Olamilekan, and Hon. Qozeem Shittu, gracefully stepped aside.
Currently serving as the Senior Special Assistant on Tourism, Arts and Culture to the Governor of Lagos State, Damilola is also known as Naira Marley’s legal counsel.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Naira Marley threw the entertainment industry into another round of heated conversation after claiming that only a handful of artists in the country have not joined cult groups.
In posts shared on his official X page on Thursday, January 22, the singer declared that the influence of cultism in the music world is far more widespread than the public imagines.
“We no reach 5 weh never join cult for this industry,” he wrote, suggesting that nearly every top artiste belongs to one group or another.
Taking his accusations even further, Naira Marley, who had been linked to the death of his ex-signee, Mohbad, issued a disclaimer that no death or attack within the industry should be tied to him.

“Dem no kuku like each other, na because of us dem link up,” he said, hinting that industry coalitions are often forced, brittle, and rooted in self-preservation rather than friendship.

Naira Marley drops cryptic post amid Mohbad’s widow rumours
Legit.ng earlier reported that Naira Marley subtly weighed in on fresh rumours surrounding the late rapper Mohbad and his widow, Wunmi Aloba.
Speculation swirled earlier in late 2025 after claims emerged alleging that Mohbad’s wife had secretly welcomed a second child. The claim suggested that Wunmi, who welcomed a son, Liam, with Mohbad before his passing, had allegedly given birth again.
Amid the renewed online chatter, Naira Marley took to X (formerly Twitter) with a post many interpreted as a veiled reaction to the situation.
