The CSD-Ghana believes strongly that the foundation of any free and fair election is a credible register and as such, any effort towards having a credible Voters’ Register must be supported by all democracy lovers. The Electoral Commission has admitted to many errors in the Electoral Roll, as pointed out by the NDC, but has failed to allow for an independent forensic audit into the same. The EC, for example, has admitted that there were illegal vote transfers in Sagnerigu, Pusiga and Tamale South by an Electoral Commission Official in Tamale South. According to the EC, these illegal transfers went through because there was no “liveness check” mechanism in place to prevent such situations.  The NDC says the situation is widespread so there must be an audit. This is a fair and reasonable call to make, but the EC has remained intransigent. CSD-Ghana stands ready to fully participate in this protest and asks other democracy lovers to join us to mount enough pressure on the Electoral Commis

Adefumni Adefunmi was recognized as an “Oba” which translates to “ruler” in the Yoruba language. He became king of Oyotunji Village in 2005 after the death of his father, Oba Adefunmi I, who founded the community in the early 1970’s. 

Located in the heart of the Gullah Geechee Corridor, the mostly self-sustained community is designed to emulate the villages of the Yoruba region of West Africa. 

During his reign, Oba Adefunmi II made efforts to bring awareness about the Yoruba religion and culture to the mainstream.

“There are those who were afraid of the African village. It has intrigued and scared people,” Oba Adefunmi told The Beaufort Gazette in a 2009 interview. “We want to get rid of that stigma.”

Olubori Botanica House of Lite took to instagram to pay tribute to the oba.

“I felt so emotional to have heard the DEPARTURE of Our King in Oyotunji @beingtheking who left the world to join his Ancestors,“ the post said. 

“I am using this medium to send my condolences to all Onisese in the world and most especially my family across the world and in Oyotunji.” 

Oyotunji Village has not released an official statement about the king’s passing but funeral arrangements are pending, according to Allen Funeral in Beaufort, South Carolina.
