     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.”

    Psychologist Prof Richard Wiseman, from the University of Hertfordshire, says “finding the funny” is a “common way” of coping during the COVID-19 crisis.

    “For people staying at home to help curb the spread of Covid-19, watching a TV programme, a film or reading a book that they find funny is good “partly because it distracts you and also because it puts you in a good mood.

    “Laughter is contagious: you hear people laugh and you laugh as well.

    “In your household, if you find something funny, sit and watch that or tell jokes to each other. They don’t even have to be particularly funny – they are all good for promoting mood.”
