No Plans – Wike refutes claims of defecting to APC following meeting with Tinubu

Former Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has refuted rumors of his intention to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC) following his meeting with President Bola Tinubu on Friday.

Wike, accompanied by his Oyo State counterpart, Seyi Makinde, and former Governor of Delta State, James Ibori, held discussions with Tinubu.

Nevertheless, as a prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Wike clarified that his visit to Tinubu was solely to extend support to him, four days after Tinubu’s presidential inauguration.

When questioned by State House correspondents about the possibility of switching to the APC, Wike responded, “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.”
