Many Ghanaians were left surprised on Tuesday , May 19, after Majority Chief Whip and South Dayi Member of Parliament, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, publicly celebrated Tema Metropolitan Chief Executive, Ebi Bright, with a heartfelt birthday message that unexpectedly revealed details of their marriage to many social media users.
In a post shared on X, the Majority Chief Whip described the Tema Mayor as “a brilliant woman, a sweet wife and a wonderful mother” while expressing admiration for her leadership and dedication to transforming Tema.
A very Special Happy Birthday wishes to this brilliant woman, a sweet wife and a wonderful mother.
From the entire family, we wish you good health & the fortitude of mind to continue to transform your beloved Tema, as Mayor.
Tons of Love & a mighty hug from me & the kids.… pic.twitter.com/FPEtGvpFgG

Shortly after the post surfaced online, social media users flooded the comment section with reactions, with many expressing shock that the two prominent political figures are married.
For years, Ebi Bright had largely been recognised publicly for her career in Ghana’s movie industry, social activism and, later, her transition into politics.
Her appointment in May 2025 as the first female Metropolitan Chief Executive of the Tema Metropolitan Assembly was widely celebrated as a historic milestone.
However, despite both personalities being active in Ghana’s political landscape, their relationship had remained largely low-profile, making the public birthday message a surprising revelation for many.
The reactions online quickly shifted from birthday wishes to admiration for how privately the couple had managed their family life despite their high-profile careers.
