We have asked him to apologise but he hasn\u2019t apologised.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has only eight weeks [to end his tenure] and by now, he should have allowed his vice, Dr. Bawumia to assume the reigns of government. He shouldn\u2019t be asking organised labour to do anything.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has not been sincere. You will not keep any promise that you give within the next eight weeks.
