Tinubu’s Attendance at Chicago State University Confirmed by Registrar in US Court

The affirmation made by registrar Caleb Westberg in a US court on Tuesday confirms that President Bola Tinubu attended Chicago State University and obtained his diploma in 1979.

Westberg also acknowledged that Tinubu’s admission letter clearly indicated his gender and the period of his attendance at the university, which was between 1977 and 1979.

He stated, “Mr. Tinubu’s records contain evidence that he identified as a man when submitting his application to CSU. Mr. Tinubu identified as a man. He was identified as a man in his admissions letter. The greeting reads, “Dear Mr. Tinubu.”

These declarations were recorded during a deposition at the office of Angela Liu, the former vice president of the United States, Atiku Abubakar’s legal representative in Chicago, Illinois.

While Michael Hayes represented CSU in court, Liu’s firm contributed five attorneys to the proceedings on Zoom.

On the other hand, Tinubu was defended by attorney Victor P. Oluwole Afolabi and Henderson. Westberg continued his testimony by informing the court that the institution received five to thirty inquiries per day from people who frantically wanted to confirm whether the president actually attended the university.

Westberg further asserted that the former governor of Lagos was not informed about any of the requests, according to the alma mater.

He deposed, “We believe Bola Tinubu who attended CSU is the same person who is the president of Nigeria today. Tinubu is an unusual name in the US. He matched the records in the file against the information provided by the student or on behalf of the student.

”We believe Bola Tinubu who attended CSU is the same person who is the president of Nigeria today. The university only has diplomas that students didn’t pick up in its possession.

“I have the diploma that was made available to Mr. Enahoro-Ebah in our possession because Mr. Tinubu did not pick it up. I do not have the Diploma that was submitted to INEC in our possession because he had picked it.”

When asked whether the Tinubu who enrolled at the school was male or female, the registrar insisted, “Tinubu applied to the university as a male and a letter of admission was issued to a male.”
