Tinubu attended Chicago varsity, registrar testifies in US court

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

Westberg also admitted that the admission letter issued to the Nigerian President evidently proved he was a male and attended the school between 1977 and 1979.

He said: “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’”

His 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.

Liu has five lawyers from her firm who joined the legal proceedings on Zoom while the CSU was represented by Michael Hayes.

Tinubu, on the other hand, was represented by counsel Victor P. Henderson and Oluwole Afolabi.

Continuing with his testimony, Westberg told the court the institution was inundated with five to 30 enquiries daily by people who desperately wanted to confirm if the president truly attended the varsity.
