The Supreme Court on Thursday dismissed an appeal filed by the Delta State governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) against Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The appeal by Kenneth Gbagi of the SDP is an offshoot of the petition he filed at the Delta State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal to challenge Mr Oborevwori’s victory in the 18 March governorship election in the state.
The appeal is not against the final decision of the tribunal. It was filed to challenge only a narrow issue of the tribunal’s refusal to accept certain evidence the petitioner had sought to tender against Mr Oborevwori.
