Kofi Gabs refuses to apologise

After Kofi Gabs compared his Dutch passport to a PhD from Ghana, many Ghanaians demanded that he apologise.

However, YEN.com.gh reported that the man, who works as a janitor in the Netherlands, refused to heed these calls.

He said he would apologise the day Ghana got a stable power supply like in the Netherlands, where he is now a citizen.
