In a statement on his X handle, Atiku conveyed his concern for families, commuters, motorists, and business owners affected by the floods. The former vice president emphasized the importance of solidarity during challenging times and prayed for the safety of those affected and a rapid return to normalcy. The flooding, caused by torrential rains since Sunday, has impacted areas including Gbagada, Iyana Ipaja, Ikorodu Road, Ikeja, Maryland, Mushin, Ogudu, Lekki, Oshodi, Agege, Alimosho, and Obalende, as well as major expressways like the Lagos-Ibadan, Lagos-Abeokuta, Apapa-Oshodi, and Lekki-Epe Expressways.

Authorities attribute the disruption to overwhelmed drainage systems amidst seasonal downpours.
