Nigerian celebrities like singers Falz, Paul Okoye aka Rudeboy amongst others have reacted to the purported CBN press release shared on the Instagram page of the First Lady, Aisha Buhari.
In the release shared on Aisha’s page on Tuesday, February 21, it was alleged that the old N500 and N1000 notes should remain legal tender for the next 70 days, till May 1, 2023.
Debunking the news, the CBN shared another release, labelling the one shared by Aisha as “fake news.”
A check on Aisha Buhari’s page shows the post has been taken down.
Reacting to the now deleted post, many wondered whose directive to follow and if the First Lady’s account was hacked. Others called the whole issue a ‘mess’. See screenshots of posts and reactions below:
