 Western countries increase support for slavery reparations, Ghana says Ghana, which has led a campaign for reparations for the nearly four-century-long trans-Atlantic slave trade, said on Wednesday that support ​is growing among Western countries for the effort. The campaign's first focus is ‌on restitution of looted artifacts, Ghanaian Foreign Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa told an event on reparatory justice co-hosted by Ghana, Germany and France on the sidelines of the UN General ​Assembly on Wednesday. Later stages could include formal apologies, debt relief and ​financial compensation under a 19-point plan adopted by the African Union ⁠and the Caribbean Community Commission on Reparatory Justice at a conference in Ghana ​in June.

 2027: Govs’ defections evidence of APC’s one-party state agenda – Wabara


Former Senate President Adolphus Wabara, says the recent defections of PDP governors to the ruling All Progressives Congress have confirmed his earlier warning that the APC is pursuing an agenda to turn Nigeria into a one-party state.


Wabara stated this on Tuesday while reacting to the defection of Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State and the reported plans of Governor Douye Diri of Bayelsa State to join the APC.


The Chairman, Board of Trustees, BoT, of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, also

accused the ruling party of orchestrating the wave of defections affecting opposition parties.


Reiterating his earlier position that a one-party state is a prelude to autocracy and retrogression, Wabara alleged that the APC was stifling democracy in Nigeria.


He lamented that the democratic gains made under the PDP are being eroded under the current administration.


“I saw this coming. I raised the alarm, but was ignored. This is not the democracy that we jealously nurtured and guarded. This is a corrupted version of democracy.


“The ruling APC believes in intimidating the opposition into submission. No democracy survives without opposition. The APC is killing Nigeria’s democracy by muzzling dissent,” he said.


Wabara attributed the defections not to the APC’s superiority but to what he described as a deliberate ambush of democracy.
