Former Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has reacted to the speculations that he is on the verge of defecting to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), after meeting with President Bola Tinubu on Friday, June 2.
The former Rivers governor met Tinubu along with his Oyo State counterpart, Seyi Makinde and James Ibori.
However, the chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) insisted he only visited Tinubu to declare his support for him four days after he was sworn-in as the president of Nigeria.
When asked by newsmen whether he would be switching to the APC after the meeting, Wike replied: “No. No plans. Nothing like that in the offing.
“We are Nigerians and we have come to give the president support.
“That is what is required. There is no big deal about that.”
