No Plans To Join APC – Wike Says After Meeting Tinubu

Immediate past Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike has debunked speculations that he is planning to switch from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) after meeting with President Bola Tinubu on Friday.

Gatekeepers News reports that Wike, along with Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde and former governor of Delta State, James Ibori, met with 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.”
