Former senor representing Adamawa North, Elisha Abbo, says in the effort to avoid being led by flesh, he has fasted for 31 days to know his next political party.
In a post on X on Friday, Abbo, who defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2020, disclosed that he took the decision at the time without proper spiritual guidance.
“In 2020, I left PDP for APC without praying and asking God’s direction on which party to join,” he wrote.
“I left for tangible reasons and raw instincts and joined APC out of human judgment and to flow with the tide.”
Abbo, however, said he is now seeking divine direction ahead of his planned exit from the APC.
“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.
“In few weeks time, 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.”
Abbo was first elected to the senate in 2019 on the platform of the PDP before defecting to the APC the following year.
He gained notoriety as a senator in 2019 when he assaulted a sales girl in a sex toy shop in Abuja in 2019.
