There was a light moment at the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) on May 21, 2026, when Tema Mayor Ebi Bright took her seat.
The Mpraeso MP, Davis Opoku Ansah, playfully referred to Tema Mayor Ebi Bright as “my wife” and also extended belated birthday wishes to her.
In the viral video shared by TV3 on X, the MP welcomed the mayor during proceedings, saying, “This is our wife,” which prompted laughter and comments from colleagues.
The light moment follows South Dayi MP and NDC Majority Chief Whip, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, who publicly acknowledged Ebi Bright as his wife in a birthday message some days ago.
In related news, Ebi Bright, the Mayor of Tema, in an old video which has resurfaced, following Ghanaians’ expressed surprise over revelations that she is married to South Dayi Member of Parliament, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, has been explaining why she kept her marriage private.
According to Ebi Bright, she chose to keep her family life private to protect her home and children from public scrutiny, adding that she had always wanted to build a family while pursuing her career.
In the old video, Ebi Bright revealed she understood the demands of public life and decided not to expose her family to unnecessary attention.
The Mayor of Tema asserted that her decision gave her peace and protected her family from unwanted attention.
Speaking in an old video shared by Joy Prime, Ebi Bright detailed, “As a woman, you know how we’re raised? Each one of us knows who we are before we get to where everybody else knows us. You have to decide early on, are you a slay queen or you’re going to be leaving the space with your mind and with thoughts”.
“Do you want a family? And do you want to be a responsible homemaker, or do you just want to be out there? What price is too big for what you want? For me, I stepped into the political space, but even as an actress, the character was constant,” she stated.
“I always knew at every step of the way, what I was willing to pay for where I wanted to get to, I determined that my marriage and my family, my children, were paramount and that I did not have what it took to protect my family, if I thrust them into the public space. So, I kept my marriage private,” she added.
She further added, “I kept my children private. I was not all over social media. Immediately, I changed my polish, I snapped a picture, and I posted. I didn’t do all of those things”.
“It allowed me the space to grow. It allowed me the space to protect myself and my family from some of those fears. It protected me from some of the advances that might have been more offensive,” she stated.
“So, I wasn’t all over the place because I knew who I was. So, even if I wasn’t a politician, I knew that I still wanted to be a family person. It’s the character, and it’s knowing who you are and being steadfast with who you are… And for me, I protected my family,” she concluded.
Some Ghanaians reacting to the video stated, “Smart lady.
She’s extremely rare.
Not many women value privacy.
Not many women enforce boundaries.
She did well in protecting her family from fame”.
Another netizen added, “This is what we call WOMAN, not the fame-hungry slay queens with body edition deceiving young girls online. Hon. Ebi one in a million”.
