Registrar Caleb Westberg confirmed on Tuesday that President Bola Tinubu attended Chicago State University and graduated from there in 1979.
In addition, Westberg confirmed that his gender had been clearly stated in the Nigerian President's admittance letter and that he had attended the school between 1977 and 1979.
The records of Mr. Tinubu show that he identified as a guy when submitting his application to CSU, he proclaimed. Mr. Tinubu claimed to be a man. In his letter of admission, he represented himself as a guy. It begins, "Dear Mr. Tinubu."
His statements were documented in a deposition he gave in the Chicago, Illinois, office of Atiku Abubakar's legal counsel, Angela Liu, a former US vice president.
Liu's firm sent five lawyers to the proceedings on Zoom while Michael Hayes was in court defending the CSU.
Tinubu, on the other side, was represented by Henderson and attorney Victor P. Oluwole Afolabi. In order to prove that the president truly visited the university, he or she received five to thirty anxious requests per day, according to Westberg, who went on to say to the court.
He further claimed, according to the alma mater, that none of the requests were communicated to the former governor of Lagos.
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 probed further to confirm if the Tinubu that enrolled at the school was a male or female, the registrar insisted, “Tinubu applied to the university as a male and a letter of admission was issued to a male.”
