Samini gave a new meaning to album signing after the Golden Tulip launch of his fourth album, C.E.O on Saturday, October 23, 2010.
He activated a retail tour which saw him take his new album directly to his fans at the Osu Oxford Street, Melcom Plus at North Kaneshie, University of Ghana (specifically Volta Hall) and the Accra Mall all on the same day. He ended at the Aphrodisiac nite club later in the night.
The Golden Tulip launch (at 10am) saw Samini unleash his plans for the year including a major concert at the Tamale Sports Stadium on Friday November 19, 2010.
After the media launch, a convoy made up of three SUV and a police escort flanked a black stretch limousine carrying Samini, his manager, Tony Pun, his personal security and six lovely ladies who ushered him to all the locations.
