2018 Emotional Letter To Trump By Chief Onyemelukwe

Emotional Letter by Chief Onyemelukwe Eusebius Zonyelu to the President of the United States of America
Chief Onyemelukwe Eusebius Zonyelu, former senatorial candidate of the Action Peoples Party (APP) in the 2025 Anambra South Senatorial District election and a 2027 presidential aspirant, wrote an emotional letter on 20 February 2018 to the then President of the United States of America, Mr. Donald J. Trump, expressing deep concern over the state of insecurity, governance, and humanitarian conditions in Nigeria and across Africa.
The letter was prompted by the mass killings that occurred in Plateau State in early February 2018, particularly in Christian communities in the Miango area of Bassa Local Government Area. During these attacks, dozens of people were reportedly killed, many were injured, and several communities were displaced. Chief Onyemelukwe expressed grave concern that the perpetrators and their sponsors were not held accountable, while the killings continued unabated. He further cited poor governance, economic hardship, and the persistent killing of Christians in Nigeria and other African countries as contributing factors to his anguish.
In his letter, Chief Onyemelukwe conveyed his frustration and disappointment with African leadership, stating that many leaders had failed to protect lives, manage resources responsibly, and uphold the dignity of human life. Out of this distress, he called on the United States of America and its allies to intervene in Africa’s affairs, proposing what he described as a form of “recolonization” as a means of restoring order, security, and good governance.
He further suggested the unification of African countries into a single entity to be known as the United States of Africa, and expressed his willingness to work with the United States of America and its allies toward achieving this vision.
Chief Onyemelukwe concluded the letter by referring to President Donald J. Trump as “the pride of the world.”
Copies of the letter sent to the President of the United States, along with the DHL courier receipt dated 2 February 2018, for which a fee of ₦18,500.00 was paid for delivery to the White House in Washington, D.C., are presented for reference. These documents are provided to demonstrate Chief Onyemelukwe’s position and his advocacy for what he described as the betterment of humanity in Africa, in light of persistent insecurity, economic decline, and leadership failure.
Chief Onyemelukwe reiterated that the continued killing of innocent citizens and the inability of Nigerian and African leaders to effectively manage national resources remain a serious concern. He therefore called on the President of the United States of America to revisit the letter and consider decisive action regarding Nigeria, with possible implications for other African nations.
