“Many citizens are increasingly searching for a credible political platform. The ADC must not fail them,” he said.
He expressed concern over the country’s security situation, noting that insecurity continues to endanger lives, livelihoods, and economic activities across various regions.

Mark also highlighted worsening economic conditions, including rising living costs, unemployment, and declining purchasing power, describing them as issues requiring urgent attention.
“Equally troubling is the growing economic burden on ordinary Nigerians. Rising cost of living, unemployment, declining purchasing power and social discontent demand urgent and sincere attention from those entrusted with governance,” he said.
