Former Adamawa North senator, Elisha Abbo, says that he has embarked on 31 days of fasting to seek divine direction on the right political party to align with.

In a post shared on his X account on Friday, Abbo hinted that his decision to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was carried out under spiritual guidance. The lawmaker added that he left the party for tangible reasons and raw instincts and joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) out of human judgment.

“This time around, I undertook 31 days of fasting and prayers, seeking direction among other things I asked God to do for me,” he said.

He told his supporters to expect, in the coming days, an official statement that will finally put to bed what his next political move would be.

“In a few weeks, a tentative official statement will be issued by my humble self after due final consultation with my people on what the spirit told me.

“I am no longer moved by sight, sweet words, emotions or just mere instincts. I am now moved by the spirit of God and calm, spirited negotiations,” he wrote on X.

Abbo was first elected to the Senate in 2019 on the platform of the PDP before defecting to the APC the following year.

He was re-elected in 2023, but in October, the Court of Appeal sacked him and declared Amos Yohanna, candidate of the PDP, as the winner of the Adamawa North senatorial election.
