Samia became the first woman President in Tanzania on March 19, following the death of John Magufuli who succumbed to a heart disease on March 17.

Taking to her Twitter to congratulate the new president, Clinton sent her best wishes to Suluhu acknowledging she is the first woman to hold the highest political office in Tanzania.

Best wishes to @SuluhuSamia, Tanzanias new president and the first woman to hold the office, as she leads and serves her country," she said.

Clinton's message came days after US vice president Kamala Harris also gave Samia a shootout and wished her all the best as she took over after Magufuli's death.

Kamala expressed confidence that Samia was fit for her new role and will steer the country in the right direction and further assured her of the support from her government.

"The United States stands ready to work with you to strengthen relations between our countries," Kamala Harris said in a tweet sent on Saturday, March 20. Similarly, Opposition leader Raila Odinga was among the Kenyan leaders who hailed Samia after she took the oath of office.

Samia said she was confident she would do an impeccable job, thanks to the guidance and teachings she received from her late boss, Magufuli.

"Those who have doubts if this woman has what it takes to lead Tanzania. I want to tell you that whoever has stood here is the president of the Republic of Tanzania whose gender is a woman."
