The Supreme Court, on Thursday, dismissed an interlocutory appeal that was brought before it by candidate of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, in the governorship election that held in Delta State on March 18, Chief Kenneth Gbagi.
Dissatisfied with the decision of the tribunal, Chief Gbagi took the matter before the Court of Appeal, where he also lost. It held that the SDP candidate failed to show how the gazette he sought to tender in evidence, was relevant to his case. However, not happy with decisions of both the tribunal and the appellate court, Chief Gbagi lodged the appeal that was dismissed by the Supreme Court on Thursday.
It rejected plea by counsel for the Appellant, who sought to invoke the original jurisdiction of the apex court under section 22 of the Supreme Court Act.
