In the appeal, Gbagi, a governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party filed the appeal against the decisions of the Election Petition Tribunal and the Court of Appeal refusing to admit fresh evidence not pleaded or frontloaded during trial. Gbagi, who claimed to have discovered new evidence to prove his petition, had made an application for the reopening of his case on the date fixed for adoption of final written addresses by the Governorship Election Tribunal sitting in Asaba.
The Tribunal also dismissed Gbagi's claim that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori was not qualified to contest the election. Not satisfied with the Tribunal's ruling, Gbagi filed an appeal against the Tribunal's refusal of his application to reopen his case. The Court of Appeal, in dismissing the appeal, held that the Tribunal rightly refused to reopen his case. Still not satisfied, Gbagi proceeded to the Supreme Court against the judgment of the Court of Appeal.
