The former Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has debunked the reports that he is planning to defect to the All Progressives Congress after meeting with President Bola Tinubu in Aso Villa on Friday.
Wike, former Governor of Delta State, James Ibori and the Governor of Oyo State met Tinubu on Friday
But Wike argued that his visit to the Aso Villa has nothing to do with defection, noting 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, 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.”
