Raji-Rasaki, who originally belonged to the rival PDP faction in Ekiti, different from Governor Fayose’s, said with the Court of Appeal judgment the party now has an opportunity to put its house in order.
She said: “Crisis in any political party is part of democracy because we disagree to agree.
“We, the authentic PDP, are being led by Ali Modu Sheriff and we thank God that the court judgment has put an end to impunity in our party.
Senator Fatima does not agree with Governor Fayose on Sheriff.
“Impunity is one thing that destroys any organisation or association where people decide and subscribe to rules and regulations guiding them.
“It is a pity that some people turned the PDP to a place where one person will corner everything and turn it to PLC.
“A party is supposed to be where everybody has a say because we are in a democracy
“In Ekiti, the authentic executive has won in court as well, so in the PDP, we have no option than to obey the rule of law.”

Meanwhile, Sheriff has asked the Court of Appeal in Port Harcourt, Rivers state to jail factional leader Senator Ahmed Makarfi, and some of his loyalists for contempt of court after ignoring the order installing him as authentic chairman of the PDP.
