Naira notes: The fake news shared earlier on my IG, FG page is the handiwork of hackers – Aisha Buhari spills

Aisha Buhari, the Nigeria First Lady has reacted to the early purported press release via her verified Instagram page.

A press release was shared via the Instagram page of the wife of the president, Aisha Buhari where it revealed that N500 and N1000 notes should remain legal tender till 1st of May, 2023.

The Central Bank of Nigeria attention was drawn to the statement which they labelled as being fake news. The statement read, “For the avoidance of doubt, and in line with Mr. President’s broadcast of February 16, 2023, the CBN has been directed to ONLY reissue and recirculate the old N200 banknotes and this is expected to circulate as legal tender for 60 days up to April 10, 2023.

“Members of the public should therefore disregard any message and/or information not formally released by the Central Bank of Nigeria on this subject. Media practitioners are advised to PLEASE verify any information from the correct sources before publication.”

However, the Nigeria First Lady whose attention was drawn debunked such statement stating that it was purported by hackers who intentionally attacked her social media platform.

“DISCLAIMER! DISCLAIMER!! It has come to my attention that a certain fake news was posted on my social media handle, Instagram which also directly connects to my Facebook page, earlier this morning. I have since directed that it should be deleted.

This is without a doubt the criminal actions of the person(s) who were responsible for deleting quite a number of my posts since 2018 to late last year when I posted a video and picture of my hands with Henna design of ABAT insignia on the day I launched the APC Women Presidential Campaign Committee for
Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Ilorin, Kwara State, my post on the event for the Traditional and Complementary Alternative Medicine (TCAM) conference and 17 other posts.

Aisha Buhari further called on the security agencies to find out who is sharing the same handle with her despite being a verified social media account.

She added, “But I am assuring you that this is the first and last I am disclaiming fake news on my handle. It is the responsibility of the security agencies to find out who am I sharing my social media handles with, despite being verified accounts, and take all necessary actions.”
