Malawi president sends Obama congratulatory message

Malawi President Bingu Wa Mutharika has conveyed his congratulatory message to US President-elect Barack Obama for his landslide victory in the USA’s just ended elections.

In his letter to Obama, Mutharika said his triumph was a victory not only for America but for Africa as well as the whole world.

"The victory shows that Obama has the potential to improve that country\’s social, political and economic prosperity," he said.

Mutharika referred Obama’s victory to the late preacher and civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. who dreamt that after the hurdles of slavery that Africa passed through to develop America, one day black people will take a lead in that country’s leadership.

"Here you (Obama) have fulfilled that dream."
