“Why it must be PDP in 2019” who spoke after the fiery Priest described President Muhammadu Buhari and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as “change” and “bureau de change” respectively, wondered why the Rev. Father will not leave politics for politicians. Why is Fr. Mbaka describing my Party’s candidate in the coming elections as ‘bureau de change?
“If the PDP shared money during its primary election as the Rev. Father pointed out in his message, how does it now make a political party’s affairs religious?" Chief Eya queried in a statement by his media aide, Gwiyi Solomon.
The party chief said the Catholic Bishop of Enugu must caution cleric for his comments ahead of the 2019 elections.

Eya said Mbaka in the buildup to the 2015 elections had predicted victory for the current administration which has set the country backward.
Meanwhile, controversial presidential aide, Lauretta Onochie has launched a scathing attack on Atiku Abubakar via social media.
Onochie was reacting to a tweet by the PDP presidential candidate urging his supporters to support him without resulting to insults before the elections.
