Wike claimed, Oshiomhole was the one who said that Edo people can not vote for a man who is corrupt, now they are saying he is their candidate because he has not been found guilty, he said.
According to Wike, APC said that PDP has no justification to demand that Osagie Ize-Iyamu should go and face his charges before the Economic And Financial Crimes Commission ( EFCC). This is a Party that told Nigerians in 2015 of its resolve to fight corruption, he added.
"I challenge the Police and the Independent Electoral Commission to use the Edo election to correct previous mistakes by conducting free and fair polls.
"I am surprised that APC will support a man it charged to court for corruption, such stance shows that their corruption fight is a farce and a witch hunt of political opponents.
Wike noted that all they want is violence because they can not win the election, If the election is suspended, the implication is that Obaseki will serve out his tenure without election in November.
We consider the comment by INEC to cancel or suspend the election because of violence as succumbing to the antics of the APC.
However, Wike said, governor Obaseki is not a violent man like Ize-Iyamu who has instructed the thugs he called "lions and tigers" to cause crisis in Edo state.
"I challenge the Police and the Independent Electoral Commission to use the Edo election to correct previous mistakes by conducting free and fair polls.
Speaking with THEWATCH NEWS Wike said, character and integrity must be the yardstick to elect any candidate in the Edo election, Edo people must resist the third term agenda of Oshiomhole.
Wike told our correspondent that for Oshiomhole, the election is a face saving, do or die venture having been treated badly in Abuja.
Wike claimed on Monday that in 2015, people supported him for governorship, when he failed, he did not consult them but abandoned them for another party.
"That is the life of a nomadic politician. Like his master, they are dangerously desperate, insatiable and can do anything for power.
In a swift reaction, the APC lampooned Governor Wike for accusing it of plans to rig the forthcoming governorship election in Edo.
