Before now I do not have the faintest idea of the next governor/president. This inform show that you have a very ambitious project which will succeed on a good focus and foundation. But I am worried that you are concentrating on youths between 18 and 30 years when politics today is played by persons mostly about age 40 and above. Is it wise to go with reality concentrating on the age group that is actual participants in politics? Sponsors will like something near reality I believe. I have not seen a sound marketing persons in your management team. Marketing is very important for your success. Regards.
