Earlier in his presentation, Comrade Frank Esanubi did a SWOT Analysis of his party and their chances of winning the forthcoming election. He noted that the strength of the party drawn from its fresh personalities, the new party which has not failed the people before and their undented reputation will work in their favour. He also disclosed that they are not unmindful of weaknesses such as fielding in relatively unknown personalities, a weak party structure and lack of funds promising that the party is working hard to overcome these challenges. He equally mentioned the opportunities that abound for them such as the general apathy of Nigerians towards the existing major political parties, the ruling party at state level different from the one at federal and expected decamped members of these parties as a result of fallout from their primary elections. The threats, according to the gubernatorial aspirant, include political equation, election rigging and thuggery which his party has set out mechanism to handle.

In all, it was agreed by all to join hands with Comrade Frank Ufuoma Esanubi in this project as this is the time to chase the old and expired politicians out of the affairs of this nation.
