“I Left PDP For APC Without Praying, I’ve Now Fasted 31 Days To Know My Next Party” – Elisha Abbo

Former Adamawa North senator, Elisha Abbo, said he spent the last 31 days fasting and praying to seek God’s direction on his next political step.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, Abbo explained that when he left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2020, he did so without seeking divine guidance.

He wrote, “In 2020, I left PDP for APC without praying and asking God’s direction on which party to join.

“I left for tangible reasons and raw instincts and joined APC out of human judgment and to flow with the tide.”

The former lawmaker said things are different this time, stressing that his next political decision will not be taken lightly.

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

Elisha Abbo first entered the Senate in 2019 under the PDP before switching to the APC the following year.

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

KanyiDaily recalls that in 2000, FCT High Court ordered Senator Elisha Abbo to pay N50 million to a woman Osimibibra Warmate as compensation for assaulting her at a sex shop in Abuja.
