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,\u201d Mark said.<\/p>\n<p>Mark also declared that the ADC is the only political party prepared with the vision and resolve to address the deepening crises in the North.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDivision has cost us progress, while indifference and inaction have continued to deepen our division. To overcome our present travails, we must return to the principles of justice, equity, mutual respect, and shared purpose that once made Northern Nigeria a beacon of hope, peace, unity and development,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that, \u201cThe time for lamentation is over. The North is bleeding profusely, and we are the only ones who can heal it. Let us commit today to reject hate speech and divisive politics, invest in unifying projects\u2014education, healthcare and infrastructure, hold each other accountable for our actions and inactions and shake hands across the divide and restore our bond of brotherhood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cIf we do these, I have no doubt we will rebuild this region into a powerhouse of not just peace and social cohesion but also economic progress, human ingenuity and compassion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mark expressed deep concern over the impact years of violence are having on the region, pointing to banditry, insurgency, and communal conflicts that have devastated rural communities, displaced millions, and stifled economic growth.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Northern Nigeria\u2019s abundant natural and human resources, he lamented that the region remains trapped in poverty, with some of the worst statistics in the country on illiteracy, unemployment, and infrastructure
