Gbagi, who is disputing the declaration of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as the valid winner of the gubernatorial contest, had through his team of lawyers led by Chief Adeniyi Akintola, SAN, approached the apex court to set aside a concurrent ruling that both the Delta State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal and the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal, delivered against him.
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. 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.
