The comment has stirred emotional responses across Africa, especially among political figures and human rights advocates. Alot of people won’t agree with this, Watch What Happened.
The announcement, which has been widely shared online, comes at a time when discussions about historical injustice and racial equality are gaining renewed global attention. President Mahama described the resolution as a symbolic but powerful step in honouring the millions of Africans who suffered during the transatlantic slave trade.
In a strong reaction, former Kaduna lawmaker and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Shehu Sani, voiced his thoughts on the development, saying the decision represents a long-overdue correction in the way history has been recorded and remembered.
Senator Shehu Sani, known for his outspoken views, further commented that the recognition of slavery as a grave crime exposes painful historical truths that still affect how Black people are perceived globally today. His remarks have continued to spark conversations about racial identity, historical injustice, and global accountability.
The issue has now become a talking point beyond Africa, as observers say it could influence future discussions on reparations, historical responsibility, and international relations.
As reactions continue to pour in, many are calling for more than symbolic statements, insisting that the world must also take practical steps to address the long-term impact of slavery on African nations and people.
