The Tema Traditional Council (TTC) has expressed disappointment with President 's nomination of Ms Ebi Bright as the Tema Metropolitan Chief Executive.

Ms Bright, a three-time National Democratic Congress (NDC) Tema Central parliamentary candidate, was nominated as the first female MCE of the Tema Metro despite several calls on the president by the council requesting a native to occupy the position.

Reacting to the nomination announcement, the council indicated that they were displeased with how the NDC has dealt with the natives of Tema.

Nii Amarh Soumponu II, the Tema Shipi and Stool Secretary, addressing the media, stressed that even though the Tema paramountcy has three assemblies within its jurisdiction, they only asked for the Tema Metro seat to be reserved for indigenes, just as it had been done in other coastal areas from Keta in the Volta Region to Axim in the Western Region.
