Former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has reaffirmed his stance on not leaving Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

This is as he dismissed rumours that he is planning to switch to the All Progressives Congress (APC) after meeting with President Bola Tinubu on Friday.

Wike, along with Seyi Makinde and 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.”

Prior to the presidential, Wike, who opposed the PDP’s candidate, Atiku Abubakar was accused of political romance with the APC.

There were speculations that he was on the verge of joining the APC but he dismissed.
