The remarks come as global momentum grows for reparations, following a UN resolution recognizing the transatlantic slave trade as “the gravest crime against humanity.”

Akpabio spoke on Saturday in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, while addressing the audience in reception of the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu.


According to him, anger from the opposition signals to him that the right law has been made.


He declared that opposition figures threatening to boycott the 2027 presidential election are just not ready for the contest.


He said, “Each time we make a law and the opposition frowns, I get excited that I’ve made the right law”.


“Yesterday I saw one man shouting on TV because of the Amended Electoral Act, saying we’re likely to boycott elections.


“My response was tell the truth, you’re boycotting the elections because you’re not ready. If you are ready you won’t boycott.”
