President John Dramani Mahama has shared a light-hearted reflection on American streamer IShowSpeed’s memorable visit to the Hammamat Montia Shea Butter Museum in Accra.
In a widely circulated moment from the tour, Speed underwent an intensive shea butter massage performed by about 10 young women. The streamer was visibly overwhelmed — lying down with his mouth open, seemingly struggling to breathe from the intense sensation.

Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Christian Tetteh Yohuno is currently touring selected polling centres in Accra as the New Patriotic Party (NPP) conducts its presidential primary today, Saturday, January 31, 2026. The IGP began the tour in the Klottey Korle Constituency, visiting the YMCA polling centre to observe proceedings and assess security arrangements. The visit forms part of efforts by the Ghana Police Service to ensure a calm, orderly and credible voting process, following the NPP’s decision to designate the Police as the sole security agency for the primaries. More than 211,000 delegates are voting nationwide across over 300 polling centres to choose the NPP’s flagbearer for the 2028 general elections. The five aspirants contesting are: Dr Mahamudu Bawumia Kennedy Ohene Agyapong Dr Bryan Acheampong Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum Kwabena Agyei Agyepong On Thursday, January 28, the NPP’s Presidential Elections Committee reiterated that only uniformed officers of the Ghana Police Service are permitted to provide security at polling centres, collation points and all related activities. The party cited intelligence suggesting possible unauthorised deployment of non-uniformed operatives and warned that any such action could undermine the integrity of the process. National Organiser Henry Nana Boakye said the party expects the Police to strictly enforce the directive to ensure a peaceful and transparent exercise. The Ghana Police Service has assured delegates and the public of its readiness to maintain law and order throughout the process. The NPP flagbearer election is widely regarded as a defining moment for the party as it seeks to reorganise, unify and position itself strongly ahead of the 2028 national contest. Results are expected later today.

Recounting the scene, President Mahama said:
“I saw him lying down, and about 10 girls, all with shea butter, were massaging this boy. And the way he was enjoying it, he opened his mouth as if he couldn’t breathe. That guy, I’m sure he’ll come back here,” he predicted with a smile.
Beyond the humour of the moment, the visit stirred personal nostalgia for the President. He noted that the museum — dedicated to promoting northern Ghanaian heritage — reminded him of traditional games and childhood songs from his youth.
The President’s comments captured the cultural and emotional impact of Speed’s whirlwind Ghana tour, which blended high-energy entertainment with meaningful exposure to local traditions. Many Ghanaians have since echoed the sentiment that the viral experience will likely bring the global star back to the country soon.
