The opposition party alleges that years of inadequate attention to the estates have led to worsening flooding and structural deterioration, putting residents at risk. A statement issued by the PDP's Publicity Secretary, Prince Christopher Odianarewo, on Monday, details how a drainage channel designed to channel floodwater from the estates into the lagoon became blocked during road construction. This has trapped water within residential areas, exacerbating flooding and creating additional safety risks. The PDP also questions the state government's proposal to relocate affected residents, suggesting that no construction work has started at the proposed relocation site.

They urge the government to prioritize safety and property protection for Jakande Estates residents, who have endured what the PDP describes as over a decade of neglect.",
