Northern Nigeria profusely bleeding - Mark
Mark, who previously served as President of the Senate, described Northern Nigeria as a region grappling with deep-rooted issues such as widespread insecurity, rising poverty levels, ethnic and religious tensions, and stalled economic growth.
He remarked:
“These challenges did not develop overnight nor will they disappear until we resolve to take deliberate, collective and decisive action. We must first admit that we are the architects of our problems, we must stop the blame game if we truly and genuinely want to find a lasting solution.”
He lamented the toll division and political apathy have taken on the North, noting that continued indifference has only widened existing rifts.
He observed:
“Division has cost us progress, while indifference and inaction have continued to deepen our division.”
Mark urged the people to rekindle the spirit of unity, justice and shared responsibility that once drove the region forward.

Mark urges citizens to get ready for real change
With urgency in his tone, Mark stressed, “The time for lamentation is over. The North is bleeding profusely, and we are the only ones who can heal it.”
He called on citizens to set aside hate speech and divisive politics, invest in sectors that bring people together such as education and healthcare, and to hold each other accountable for decisions and actions.
According to him, these steps are critical for rekindling the North’s lost sense of brotherhood and purpose.
Reflecting on the past decade, Mark described how violence from banditry, terrorism and communal clashes has turned countless villages into war zones, forcing millions to flee and devastating local economies.
Despite abundant natural and human resources, the North continues to struggle with high rates of illiteracy, unemployment and inadequate infrastructure.
Reason no force in ADC can unseat Tinubu
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the presidency had dismissed the ambitions of the newly formed opposition coalition under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), insisting that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will complete two terms in office before any serious political transition can occur.
Presidential spokesperson, Sunday Dare, who addressed the matter in Abuja, described the coalition as a desperate assembly of “disgruntled politicians” with no clear ideological direction.
