Tinubu Was A Student Of Chicago State University, Registrar Tells US Court

Caleb Westberg, a Registrar of Chicago State University, on Tuesday, swore under oath that President Bola Tinubu attended and graduated from the institution in 1979.

The Registrar equally admitted that the admission letter issued to President Tinubu proved he was a male and attended the school between 1977 and 1979.

According to Westberg, "There were materials in Mr Tinubu’s records that show he was a male in the application to CSU. Mr Tinubu identified himself as a male. His letter of admission identified him as a male. It says: ‘Dear Mr Tinubu’”.

Westberg's testimonies were contained in a deposition made in the Office of Angela Liu, the legal counsel to former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, in Chicago, United States, US.

Speaking during the legal proceedings which was held through Zoom, the Registrar informed the court that the institution was inundated with five to 30 enquiries daily by people who desperately wanted to confirm if the president truly attended the varsity.

In his deposition, Westberg posited, “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.

“Tinubu applied to the university as a male and a letter of admission was issued to a male”.
