‘I miss you’ — Lasisi Elenu tells former president Buhari amid hardship


 

Popular Nigerian comedian, Lasisi Elenu, has taken to social media to share an unexpected nostalgia for former President Muhammadu Buhari.

In an Instagram post on Wednesday, the comedian, whose real name is Nosa Afolabi, shared a voice note he recently sent to the former president.

TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) recalls that Buhari left office in May 2023, after serving as Nigeria’s president from 2015 to 2023. His reign was known to be a tumultuous period in Nigeria’s history.

 He, however, was succeeded by President Bola Tinubu, who assumed office on May 29, 2023.

Elenu in the voice note sent privately to the ex-president, was heard saying, “I miss you, sir”.

Elenu, however, did not provide any context as to why he sent the message.

“Boss, how is work and the family? I am not sending you this message on behalf of anyone,” he said.

“I think I owe it to myself and my family and to be honest, I never thought that I would be here doing this at this time.

“First, I don’t even know how to say this. I honestly don’t know how to go about this. I feel like I am just trying my best to keep myself and be as respectful.

“I miss you. I miss you, God. I miss you, God abeg, abeg. God help me, I miss you sir.”
