Ogunleti01:
People voice prevailed at last. In a democracy, dissent is an act of faith

Only 200 naira notes ooooo

You no serious

Racoon:
Tinubu, Gandollar, El-Rufai in the mud again

You've been wailing consistently for about 8 years now. Buhari that you condemned for years is now your friend? Talmabout the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

nairavsdollars:
The governors won't listen to him

Not only the govs but S/Court which is more powerful than Buhari in the eyes of the law but the only reprieve is that more old #200 naira notes will be pushed into the economy now.

Lies.... All old notes remain legal tender for 2 Months

Nosaghae:
What happens to the old 500 and 1000 naira notes still in circulation?

take it to the bank for swap

nameo:
So Buhari just confirmed this.

The old #200 notes will remain legal tender, along with all the denominations of the neq notes, until April 10. So the cash crunch affecting ordinary people will be eased.

But the old #1000 and #500 notes will no longer be legal tenders which implies that they will no longer be accepted by anyone altho they can still be redeemed at the central bank after filling some documents.

Like i said yesterday, Buhari obviously haa intelligence that the billions of old notes that some politicians kept for vote buying are in the #1000 and #500 denominations. It can no longer be used for vote buying again and they would even need to explain when they try to exchange it at the CBN.

This new decision is a master class. The APC Govs can no longer complain cos the "excuse" of the suffering of the people has been taken care of whilst preventing vote buying using the old naira notes

Masterstroke!

Good decision by Buhari

Nigerian were so easy to decived!

Very good! Thanks to buhari!

Nigerians wins over greedy politicians

nairavsdollars:
The governors won't listen to him

how Are governors CBN??

You people should desist from ignorant comments like this.

femisplash:
If Buhari was serious with vote buying, he would have started in 2019 when the vice president was in markets in major cities sharing trader moni. I hate hypocrisy.
The old 200 notes would still find their ways to the politicians while the ordinary masses continue in their Lamentations.

Make thunder soda your nyash. Nonsense.

Buhari is now unserious ba? because your useless candidate can no longer buy votes?

getaat.

Buffalo2:
Does it mean banks should not issue out 500 and 1000 again?

Yes... of the old notes

And you can no longer use them again.

But all denominations of the new notes will be available from the banks and can be used

urchins will cry me river Supreme bank can still reverse it or even sue Buhari to sharia court

Blessingedem80:
Hahahaha, I am loving this policy by the day.

Monies kept for vote buying normally in 500 & 1000 denomination are now to be emptied into the Atlantic ocean for good.

All politicians can at least have a level playing field and test their popularity at the ballot box!

What about monies collected by farmers and market women? I don't dabble into politics but this is entirely anti people policy

Charmingpet:

Only @ the CBN not commercial banks.

othermen:
Emefiele is the presidency. All, Emefiele’s talking points. When the people resist, there will be a breakdown and the elections won’t hold.

April 2022, Pastor Adeboye announced that the 2023 election might not hold.

He never said election would not hold ooooo...
He only said how are you sure there'd be an election!

Nosaghae:
What happens to the old 500 and 1000 naira notes still in circulation?

You have between now and tomorrow to deposit them at the CBN. By next week it becomes tissue paper

searchlight:
He is only checkmating the old criminal of Lagos and that's a political masterclass. Tinubu must not be president

Are you sure about that?

Racoon:
Tinubu, Gandollar, El-Rufai in the mud again

sometimes you people behaves as if you are not in Nigeria.You celebrate the suffering of people but later you claim to be a good christian?you should vbe ashamed of your so called christian faith.

clarocuzioo:
Buhari simply seperated the masses from the looters. 200 will ease the pains of the masses and help drive small transactions. 1000 and 500 naira notes stashed by Tinubu and governors for this election remains a tissue paper.

No more bullion van

As you are part of the masses, how many 200 naira do you have at home ?
Tinubu that you hate will still win the coming election.

nairavsdollars:
The governors won't listen to him

But the governors don't control the circulation of the currency, the CBN do.

Tinubu after hearing this news....

Hendrixky:
Yes yes
Listen to radio this morning
It is official
Only 200 naira note is allowed as legal tender


500 and 1000 naira note can not be used anymore

Buhari say vote any candidates of your choice

Don't be scared security will be provided

I love what Buhari is doing

If this is the only thing he can be remembered for
Please also ensure dss, efcc, well trained police and icpc all scattered around polling unit that day

I hope you are saying this for prosperity sake and not politics.

alrahmanonline:

The should take it to the CBN branch of their state.

Buhari is fighting a good fight and is for the benefit of the masses

Thunder will fire the banks if they don’t change my money. This country with last minute preparations regarding every thing. We will never become a world power. We are unserious as a nation.

Nosaghae:

Oga return them to CBN

New central bank governor have talked. Mumu

Chekwume16:
It still does not make sense. I don't know why buhari is so stubborn. Leave politics aside and see what people are passing through. There may be a revolution very soon

Onyeoma Eliza, go and sit down somewhere biko.

Reasonable citizens will endure as long as the policy is for good.
