He declared that he has changed his strategy to follow God's direction by fasting and praying for 31 days.
Abbo made this known via his X handle @SenatorAbbo on Friday, August 29, 2025.
“In 2020, I left PDP to APC without praying and asking for God's direction on which party to join. I left due to tangible reasons and raw instincts, and joined APC out of human judgment and to flow with the tide.
“This time around, I undertaken a 31-day fast and prayers seeking for direction, among other things, I asked God to do for me
“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.
"The Lord God directs the steps of the righteous."
