The Supreme Court on Thursday denied an interlocutory appeal filed by Kenneth Gbagi, a Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate for governor in Delta State’s March 18 election, against the election of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.
Gbagi, through his legal team led by Chief Adeniyi Akintola, SAN, is challenging the declaration of Oborevwori of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the legitimate winner of the gubernatorial contest in that state.
He urged the Supreme Court to set aside a ruling that had been rendered against him simultaneously by the Delta State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal and the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal.
