Congress ealier reported that Wike met Tinubu along with his Oyo State counterpart, Seyi Makinde and a former Governor of Delta State, James Ibori.

The former PDP Rivers governor said he only visited Tinubu to offer him support four days after he was sworn-in as the president of Nigeria.

When confronted by the 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.”
