Chief Suspended By Tema Traditional Council For Campaigning For Mahama

The Tema Traditional Council (TTC) has suspended indefinitely one of its two chief fishermen for openly campaigning for former President John Dramani Mahama, flagbearer, National Democratic Congress.

Nii Adjierteh Mator III, Chief fisherman of Ashaaman, is said to have openly told residents to vote for Mr Mahama, and Isaac Ashai Odamtten, NDC parliamentary candidate for Tema East, during a mini rally held at the Kplejootsoshishi at Tema Newtown recently when the former president visited the area.

Nii Amarh Somponu II, Tema Shipi and spokesperson for the Council, announcing the suspension, said Nii Mator’s behaviour was against the laws of the country and their resolve for all traditional leaders to stay away from politics and refrain from openly supporting any candidate.

Nii Somponu added that “his action is an embarrassment and betrayal to the Council. He is therefore suspended from all traditional activities until further notice”.
