n inaugural meeting of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) Southwest was held
in Akure on Saturday with the objective of
outlining a strategy for winning the 2015 elections
in the area, with Ekiti State governor Ayo Fayose
reiterating the party’s old mantra that the
presidential contest is a “do or die” affair.

The returnee-governor said the party must be
prepared to use its control of the army and the
police, which it currently controls, to ensure
victory for President Goodluck Jonathan at next
month’s polls.
The meeting was organized by the PDP South-
West co-ordinator, Gov. Olusegun Mimiko, who
shared the high table with Senitor Iyiola Omisore,
Mr. Kolapo Ogunjobi, Senator Musilu Obanikoro,
Governor Ayo Fayose and various leaders from
the zone.
Governor Fayose underlined that the presidential
election was critical, advising that the party
should forget about governorship elections and
concentrate on the presidential contest.
According to him, once President Jonathan was
re-elected, everything else would fall into place
and the party could declare the governorship
candidates of PDP in various States as it likes.
Minutes of the meeting obtained by
SaharaReporters shows that some delegates
advocated de-emphasizing rallies as campaign
strategy, preferring that the PDP should focus on
propaganda aimed at tarnishing the image of the
presidential candidate of the All Progressives
Congress, General Muhammadu Buhari. Some of
the delegates wanted to use the media to dent
the image of General Buhari.
In that connection, Senator Omisore expressed
support for the extensive use of propaganda
against Buhari, joining Governor Fayose in
stressing that the all efforts should be mobilized
to win the Presidency because the PDP would be
nothing without the presidency.
Mr. Fayose disagreed with the propaganda
strategy, describing it as a waste of time.
Stressing that attack is the best form of defence,
he said that the PDP in general and the South-
west PDP should be valiant to face the Tinubus
anywhere they are.
He underlined that the PDP cannot afford to lose
its control of the police and the army, which it will
without Jonathan being the president.
On Fayose’s description of the presidential
election as a “do or die” affair, Gov. Mimiko,
obviously aware that the outburst could be used
against the PDP, countered that it should not be a
“do or die” but rather a “do-and-win” affair.
One of the decisions taken by the meeting was to
set up a number of committees, including
Security, Contacts, Traditional, and INEC.
The committee on Security is saddled with the
responsibility of working with the police and the
army. The party leaders also further tasked the
students at both the national and regional levels
to monitor various institutions and polling booths
to make sure that the election goes in favour of
President Jonathan. It was also stated that a
national student body had submitted a proposal
for a youth conference that will hold in FUTA this
month where the South-west students would
adopt Jonathan as their presidential candidate.
