Immediate past Governor of Rivers State, Barrister Nyesom Wike, has reacted to insinuations and reports that he is set to leave the People’s Democratic party.
He refuted the insinuations that he is planning to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC), after meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Friday.
Wike met the president along with Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde and a former Governor of Delta State, James Ibori.
However, Nyesom Wike of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) insisted he only visited Tinubu to offer him support four days after he was sworn-in as the president of Nigeria.
When asked by State House correspondents if switching to the APC was on the agenda of the meeting he had with the president, 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.”
