After cozing up to Trump, and having gotten nowhere, he now wants to see if Uhuru will treat him differently.If he did not have Obama name,he would be just a joe six pack congratulating the president,just like you , me and the githeri man would.
He did not work hard for that name, he is just riding on it after president Obama who he severed relationship with made is a household name.
Obviously Malik's congratulatory gesture will not be mistaken to be on the same level as those of foreign dignitaries. I think he saw an opportunity for another 16 minutes of fame,so to speak.
