The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) says it is working with intelligence and security agencies to arrest and prosecute purveyors of fake news that the bank is reissuing and recirculating old N500 and N1000 notes.

The apex bank disclosed this on Tuesday shortly after first lady, Aisha Buhari, shared the fake news that the CBN had been directed by her husband, President Muhammadu Buhari, to reissue and recirculate old “N200, N500 and N1000 notes”

“The attention of the Central Bank of Nigeria has been drawn to a FAKE PRESS RELEASE purported to have emanated from the Bank to the effect that President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the reissuance and release of old N500 and N1000 notes as legal tender in the country.

“The Bank is working with the law enforcement agencies to investigate, apprehend and prosecute the purveyors of this fake news,” the apex’s statement reads.

The apex bank further said “for the avoidance of doubt, the Central Bank of Nigeria reiterates that in line with the directives of Mr. President, only N200 old notes are to be reissued and to circulate concurrently with the new notes. Members of the public are therefore advised to ignore this fake news.”

Mrs Buhari, an ally of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, shared a fake press release attributed to CBN on her Instagram page on Tuesday.

The post has now been deleted. Her spokesperson, Suleman Hassan, however, told Peoples Gazette that he is unaware of the development.

“Due to the current and unpleasant situation happening in Nigeria, In line with Mr. President. After having a closed meeting with him on the 20th of February, 2023, Central Bank Of Nigeria (CBN) has been directed to ONLY reissue and recirculate the old N200, N500 and N1000 banknotes and this is expected to circulate as legal tender for 70 days up to May 1, 2023. Members of the public should therefore continue to spend the old notes,” the fake press release read.

Mrs Buhari sharing fake news comes a week after Festus Keyamo, APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) spokesperson, was called out for stealing a Chicago festival photo to portray Mr Tinubu’s campaign.

Good, go after them, nobody is above the law

Emefool the mumu.. very idiot man

So Aisha Buhari have now join the Elrufai geng to undermine the president, her husband

Probably, she must have been promised a juicy Post by the now botched life long ambition of the Emilokan drug lord

Nice

Aisha Buhari is the first First lady I have seen of recent who works with cabals that the President doesn't work with,. She always behave in opposing direction of her husband.

The buhari I know won't save her if she is being arrested and prosecuted

Apc fighting Apc

Send her and Yarimo to jail for spreading fake news

Na Buhari bring policy, na Buhari wife dey go jail

Jungle don mature

Emefool the mumu.. very idiot man

it is your principals who stole wealth enough to build a nation and want to use it to rig election that are fools.

May God bless Muhammadu Buhari

God bless Godwin Emefiele


A new Nigeria that evil cabals won't have access to the treasury is about to be born

Prosecuted in the same court you refuse to obey

Aisha Buhari should respect herself at least.

Felabrity:
Send her and Yarimo to jail for spreading fake news

IN the same court cbn refused to obey, laughing in IPOB huhuhahauah

oyin44:
Emefool the mumu.. very idiot man

Go to buhari’s face and tell him , I mean even online u got no balls , u can’t do that and u think the cbn is the easy target

Buhari may truly allow CBN to prosecute his wife over this issue because he really meant the APC governors and all politicians who corruptly gain money.

Oga direct your insults to the President and stop going by the corner

Tinubu will never small Aso Rock... He will lose badamostically

A supposed educated First Lady couldn't logon to www.cbn.gov.ng and confirm the authenticity of such press release before circulating same on her social media page.

The desperation amongst Thîefnubu criminals in APC and their penchant for propagating falsehood is unprecedented. This is quite embarrassing to her persona.

I believe she won't be in a haste to post any stuff coming from APC's media dogs again without due clarification.

I have said it before and I will say it again Wike is just indirectly campaigning for Atiku, have anyone notice the silence of Fayose, Seyi Makinde and FFK, if you guys think the northern elders and Governors will abandon their son when all the southern Governors have now come together to form a team against a northern candidate then you must be joking, if Wike can be working for Tinubu what makes you think some APC Governors are not working for Atiku. My southern people this is politics and I have already saw what the north were planning since the PDP presidential campaigning in Katsina, Apart from Buhari Atiku is the most popular politician in the north, what the cabals are doing is the directive from the northern elders and it's just a tip of an iceberg. I will come back and remind you guys of this comment after the election, take it or leave it the north will never leave their son in favour of southern candidate.

arrest that prostitute immediately

Tinubu ti lule piii. Carry on Emefiele, press their throat well

You can redesign naira.
You can redesign the economy. And
You can redesign the entire structure of Nigeria for better.
But
What you can never redesign is a pvssy which has been fvcked by many men.
Once you discover that she's not a virgin, just fvck your part and let others fvck too. Never marry a woman you did not disvirgin except you want to train another man's child.

Avoid single mothers at all cost. They're operating under a different level of curse. Your life will nose dive if you marry a woman who has a child for another man.
There is a reason men don't stay in her life. If you stayed, you will regret.


Fvck any girl you want but when it comes to marriage, find a virgin woman and marry. Only her deserves your love and devotion.

Those who have stored millions of naira to buy votes are trying to convince people to collect their worthless notes

They never saw this coming
