Reacting to this, Prof. Opoku-Agyemang said:
“Congratulations to Her Excellency Samia Suluhu Hassan who has just been sworn in as President of Tanzania. Though these are trying circumstances for all Tanzanians, we all have faith in her ability to lead her people into recovery, stability and prosperity.
May Allah guide President Suluhu Hassan’s paths as she becomes the first female President of an East African country following the passing of President John Magafuli. Our prayers remain with all Tanzanians during this period of transition.”
