He challenged describing  Mr. Hagan\u2019s statement as \u2018senseless\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Kweku Ricketts-Hagan was a Former Deputy Minister of Finance under the government of the former president John Dramini Mahama.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this week, Mr. Hagan chastised some appointees of the Former president Mahama saying they were \u2018heavily corrupt\u2019 during the NDC\u2019s time in government. He also indicated that, for NDC to get back political power, the leadership of the party needs to be overhauled thoroughly from flag bearer to grassroots executive.<\/p>\n<p>He has affirmed his intension to lead the party come 2010 general election to victory.<\/p>\n<p>But Alhaji Sani in his response said he is not convinced Hagan can achieve the aim of leading the party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverybody vying for the flag bearer position is equally good to do that, but none of them is behaving as Hagan. No one has anything against Hagan to say leaders are preventing him from contesting. That even shows how democratic the party is and I appreciate it\u201d urging his brother Hagan to retract his statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is nothing wrong for him to come back and say he didn\u2019t make such statements or he erred\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 24 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Politics of Friday, 22 December 2017 Source: Mynewsgh.com 2017-12-22 Member of Parliament for Cape Coast South constituency, Kweku Ricketts-Hagan A leading member and Former Ashanti Regional Vice Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Alhaji Sani has hit back at former Central Regional Minister who has announced his intention to lead the party in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":449232,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-449231","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-local-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
