During a visit to London, England in 2007, Ghanaian president John Kufuor rejected the notion that European nations bear full responsibly for the slave trade, stating that "some local indigenous groups were also guilty". He claimed "whatever way you look at it, slavery and slave trade were certainly an iniquity and a disgraceful business even if considered in relation to the other brutalities of the time".[1]
In 2022, Nana Obokese Ampah I, the traditional king of Asebu, publicly issued an apology, stating, "It is time to address what must be said to the African Diaspora. We must engage in a meaningful conversation to acknowledge and reconcile our actions and inactions as rulers of our kingdoms during the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, which we deeply regret."[5]

[jhyuk | jhyuk a̱tyin ka]In 2009, the Civil Rights Congress of Nigeria, led by Nigerian politician Shehu Sani, called for chiefs in Nigeria to apologise for their ancestors' involvement in the slave trade.[6] The Aro Council of Elders declined to apologise, stating they were "not apologetic about what happened in the past".[4]
In 2018, Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi, a traditional monarch who holds the title of Oluwo of Iwo, issued an apology for the role that the traditional royal families in Nigeria played in the Atlantic slave trade.[7]
The descendants of Seriki Abass, a prominent slave trader in the Nigerian town of Badagry, issued an apology for his historic selling of slaves.[8]

[jhyuk | jhyuk a̱tyin ka]In 1998, Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni remarked in an interview that he would not seek an apology from U.S. president Bill Clinton during Clinton's visit to Africa. Museveni stated, "African chiefs were the ones waging war on each other and capturing their own people and selling them. If anyone should apologize it should be the African chiefs. We still have those traitors here even today."[9]
In 2023, Musevini issued a formal apology for the Atlantic slave trade.[10]
