The new notes was used as a ploy for the presidential election. How would you cut supply of paper money when elections was at the corner…. I need y’all to THINK 💭

Where did banks get the old 500 and 1000 notes from? I thought it was taking to the CBN? If banks are dispensing them, then CBN is aware.

So a media house as big as Sahara cannot at least get credible info? You really believe that commercials banks will move an inch on the judgement without directives from CBN? The least you could do was simply ask the folks working in the bank.
