The  President in his reaction explained that, while the purported symbol MURIC's statement was referring to the Star of David, "there's no where on that note as indicated in the specimen that has widely publicized, where there is any Jewish or Zionist symbol or the Star of David."

Speaking through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr Reuben Abati, the President accused MURIC of attempting to cause disaffection because of the design of the note, noting that, "the value of the note is written out in the three major languages of Nigeria - Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo."

He further said, no attempt has been made to use this proposed N100 note to discriminate anybody and the attack on the President is undeserved, unwarranted and totally unkind.
