Congratulations on Your history-making Nomination:
I watched alongside the rest of the world, with excitement and pride when
you made history as the first female to be nominated to run for President
of the United States of America, on the platform of a major political
party- the Democratic Party. The United States will indeed be lucky to
have you as its 45th President, by the special grace of God. Ride on my
dear friend and sister. African women and people of goodwill the world
over are solidly behind you. No doubt, we are stronger together. On our
last meeting I embraced you as Madam Secretary; I can’t wait to hug and
address you as Madam President. Once again CONGRATULATIONS!”
