Chicago State University registrar: We get 30 enquiries a day on Tinubu, confirms graduation

3rd October, 2023

Caleb Westberg, the registrar of Chicago State University said the school was bombarded daily with many enquiries about its former student, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.


Giving the oral deposition ordered by Judge Maldonado to support the documents on President Bola Tinubu given to Atiku Abubakar, Westberg said the school receives between five and 30 enquiries daily about Tinubu.

However, he said at no time did the school notify Tinubu about the flood of enquiries, ostensibly from Nigeria.

“We believe Bola Tinubu who attended CSU is the same person who is the president of Nigeria today”, Westberg said during the deposition done on Tuesday in the office of Atiku’s lawyer, Angela Liu, at West Wacker Drive in Chicago.

Five other lawyers from the firm Dechert LLP joined in the deposition. President Tinubu was represented by Victor P.Henderson and Oluwole Afolabi, who joined the session by zoom from New York.

Michael Hayes appeared for Chicago State University.

Pressed further by the battery of lawyers representing Atiku on why he believes the person who is the president of Nigeria is the same person who attended CSU, Westberg said Bola 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.

On the controversy over whether the student the school admitted in 1977 ffrom South West College was a man on woman, Westberg said Tinubu applied to the university as a male and a letter of admission was issued to a male.

On the certificates tendered in the documents given to Atiku, the registrar restated that the university only has Diplomas that students didn’t pick up in its possession.


“The university does not typically keep Diplomas.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 up.’

“Why would Mr. Tinubu request a Diploma and not pick it up or ask that it be sent to him?”, one of Atiku’s lawyers asked.

Westberg replied: “You would have to ask him, that is Bola Tinubu”.


Here are other things Westberg deposed to: “I’m not aware of any instance where CSU had been requested to certify a document.Mr. Wole Afolabi who was acting for President Tinubu insisted that the documents must be certified. Mr. Wole Afolabi is President Tinubu’s lawyer. Mr. Afolabi and Mr. Orr communicated by email.

“I don’t recall seeing the emails. I don’t know if Jason Carter approved of the certification. Apart from Jason Carter I do not know anyone else who was involved in the process.

“I went into Mr. Tinubu’s student’s file and produced the documents to Mr. Orr. I didn’t know that the documents would be certified. I don’t get involved in legal matters.

“Mr. Tinubu requested that the documents be released to Mr. Afolabi for ‘legal proceedings’ The signature on the consent form is similar to the signature we have on record for Mr. Tinubu.

“All of the certified documents came from CSU’s files. Nothing was handed over to us by Mr. Afolabi except for the FERPA form. CSU had never certified documents for anyone before. It must have been made because there was more of a Nigerian thing.

“The documents were released in pursuance of a FERPA request. I believe Mr. Afolabi requested that the documents be certified. I’m not aware if the stamp affixed by Mr. Orr to the documents was an official document. It is not part of CSU practice.

Atiku's fishing fails as Chicago State University finds diplomas matching Tinubu's

“Mr. Orr later departed from CSU after these documents were certified.I don’t know if his departure was connected to the certification of the documents; but I don’t think it was.


“Mr. Tinubu’s counsel did not prepare any affidavit for me. He didn’t draft anything for me. My statement that Mr. Bola Tinubu graduated from CSU was based on the transcripts in our possession.

“I have never met Bola Tinubu. I have never seen him. He did not visit our campus. He does not donate money to the school.

“In the US, Diplomas are considered merely ceremonial documents. In some other countries, it may be considered more. In the US, more reliance is placed on transcripts and not on Diplomas.

“I did not rely on information from public records to come to the conclusion that President Bola Tinubu is the person who attended CSU. I am not aware that the FBI contacted CSU on whether Bola Tinubu attended CSU.

“Between 1979 and when I assumed duties, CSU must have had at least 6 Registrars. I never spoke to Ms. Davies. Some policies have changed over the years. When there is a replacement Diploma, it is done by outside vendors. I don’t know who created Exhibit # 6.
The institution decided that my name should not be typed on the ‘To whom it may concern’ letter because of the sheer volume of requests I was getting.

“Before CSU, I was at UC, Berkeley and UC, Irving. I’m sure people make mistakes in data entry from time to time. Before this lawsuit I didn’t know anyone called Bola.

“It was possible that someone assumes Bola to be a female and therefore marked the SouthWest Transcript as such.


“I am familiar with the affidavit filed by OLAJIDE Adeniji. I don’t recall his gender.I don’t know if Atiku Abubakar is male or female but I heard is a male. I can’t tell by his name.

“I checked the record and confirmed that OLAJIDE Adeniji and Bola Tinubu were at CSU at the same time. The person said he ran in a closely- contested race against Bola Tinubu for the leadership of the Accounting Student Union.

“I see that he said the same person he ran against is now the president of Nigeria. The Bola Tinubu who attended Southwest College took Accounting courses. The Bola Tinubu who attended CSU also took Accounting courses. I see the address indicated for Bola Tinubu. It’s not far from CSU. I looked at the whole record in making the determination that the Bola Tinubu who is the president of Nigeria today is the same person who attended CSU.

“The entries’1952’ and ‘1954’ could have been made in error. The person who attended Southwest College is the person who attended CSU. The courses taken by Bola Tinubu at Southwest and CSU are consistent.

“Right after the entry ‘F’, the SSN entered indicated in the Southwest transcript is the same as the one that was indicated in CSU records. That is one of the indications that we use to identify students. A Social Security is a unique identifier.

“I recognize Southwest College as a feeder school for CSU. Bola Tinubu graduated with Honours. It’s a GPA distinction. It is awarded to high performing students. Accounting is a rigorous Major. He graduated with Honours. Yes, certain students are more motivated than others.

“The students who are more motivated go on to accomplish greater things in life. I’ve seen that. As far as I know, he’s the president of Nigeria.

“There were materials in Mr. Tinubu’s records that show that he was a male. I see 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’

“We know Mr. Tinubu’s Social Security number. It’s contained in his records.

“I see the entry on APC’s website wherein President Bola Tinubu was said to have been born in Lagos on March 29, 1952. I don’t have a copy of the Diploma that was submitted to INEC so I can’t comment on it.

“I am not aware of the fact that in the form that he submitted to INEC he claimed a different nationality or date of birth.

“Yes, our records show that he was born on March 29th. One has ‘1954’ while the other shows ‘1952’ From time to time, people do make mistakes when making such entries”.

I don't know why the obiedients always labour in vain...

Tinubu is the president and has immunity... So the Supreme Court judgment is just to fulfill all righteousness..

Tinubu's SSN show he is a male yet this people have refused to move on...

Next will be to call out Richard Daley College if tinubu is a male or a female..

The obiedients have been disgracing our country home and abroad.. But tomorrow wants power.. Just dey play

CSU didn't admit a female tinubu. Go through the post and read it 10 times maybe you will understand. His SSN shows he's a male

Something has come to light in all of this, Nigeria is a very sick place to live in. People will copy and paste narratives without reading to see where it indicts them and run contrary to what they're trying to push. They keep trying to tell us Tinubu is a male and attended CSU, when in fact, those facts have never been in contention, not with Gani or Keyamo or even Atiku. It's all been about his academic credentials (school history and certificates). Sadly, the morons up there didn't see where CSU disowned the certificate Tinubu submitted to INEC which louds what has been obvious to all: FORGERY. We can argue the meaning of 'AND', in our constitution, but the world now have evidence of Tinubu's forged certificate archived in the Internet, and has also been backed up by CSU's deposition. While you keep celebrating he attended CSU and had 1st class in accounting, remember that the world now sees the average Nigerian as a criminal. Our laws may do nothing to him, but what better way to demystify an acclaimed demigod. What a shame.

Obi and his supporters can die now, they won't be missed

Haba your IQ is not that low nah. Haba from Buhari is dead and replaced by Jubrin Alsudan to Tinubu is not a male but a Female. Haba! Shay your I/Q dey read minus ni?

This na home and away defeat to the joint team of 2nd and third.

Atiku himself go take am in his stride, na the headless mob I know say go de wait for further instructions on how next to proceed.

PM News that's widely known as Bola Tinubu Lagos Ibadan expressway newspaper ?

Oriyin ti daru

“Right after the entry ‘F’, the SSN entered indicated in the Southwest transcript is the same as the one that was indicated in CSU records. That is one of the indications that we use to identify students. A Social Security is a unique identifier.

The illiterates in Nigeria,do not even know the importance of SSN and how it proves the age and gender of Bola Tinubu, regardless of any errors that might exist in any other document.

Atiku just disgraced himself and Obi.

He rub shit on all the zombies in Nigeria who want to japa to a country that now knows how deranged and illogical they are.

AdamuKD:

Mr zombie, you go cry tire

Your criminal Tulunbu is a thief and a bastard. Go kee yourself

You are here defending a worthless criminal on an empty stomach. Na hunger and poverty go finally quench your senseless brain. Ode without functioning brain

Chai. See agony. Who dey cry now?

recognize Southwest College as a feeder school for CSU. Bola Tinubu graduated with Honours. It’s a GPA distinction. It is awarded to high performing students. Accounting is a rigorous Major. He graduated with Honours. Yes, certain students are more motivated than others.

One candidate was proud enough to present his highest qualification of a Bachelor's degree with the mandatory NYSC certificate to INEC.

Another candidate who is a globally recognised olodo who struggled to complete his university education, refused to tender his highest qualification of a Bachelor's degree to INEC and also avoided presenting his NYSC certificate. Instead, he presented his 2nd chance GCE certificate.

The olodo hypocrite is still claiming he graduated from schools that he could not present for his ambition to rule the biggest economy in Africa.

If Peter Obi's parents paid his school fees at UNN, they would be ashamed for their son who was not confident to be appraised on the weight of his highest qualification.

AdamuKD:
Rubbish

Where did he get the secondary school certificate he presented to them?

Senseless zombie, una go explain tire

I talk it. Even if it was recorded and played back. This people won't get it.
Have now seen that Tinubu is a female? No he's Yemikini Amoda, abi na Gloria B? No he's Folashade. Me even confuse pass you. Abeg help me check una group chat. What's Tinubu tonight?

See as CSU use style shade Atiku.

He will forever be remembered as a failed presidential candidate.

“The students who are more motivated go on to accomplish greater things in life. I’ve seen that. As far as I know, he’s the president of Nigeria.

You can see the school is actually irritated by the mental laziness of Nigerians that have now brought shame to themselves while Tinubu is still being celebrated as a President of a country.

Tinubu is the President of Atiku and Obi's country.

“Before CSU, I was at UC, Berkeley and UC, Irving. I’m sure people make mistakes in data entry from time to time. Before this lawsuit I didn’t know anyone called Bola.

“It was possible that someone assumes Bola to be a female and therefore marked the SouthWest Transcript as such.

See how a well exposed and experienced university official is explaining simple matters to daft Nigerians like Atiku, Obi, and Hundeyin.

Many of them in Nigeria are still seeking for help online on how to correct their gender or name for their BVN and their NIN.

Maybe they should be sacked from their jobs for presenting themselves as one gender or name, but their NIN is saying something else?

Hypocrisy of losers is very legendary.

Some people sound like retards yet they gloat in thier folly. How can we expect CSU to confirm what was not submitted to them.
Okay. His graduation or grade is not in contention So what is? Discrepancies in the certificates submitted? Here is CSU taking responsibilities for the discrepancies; that it could be due to human error (under oath).... and for the umpteenth time. Urh!
We'll just wait for the court to do it's work. Tired to engage any zombie jor.

Sincerely most obidients are so dump and truly headless mob...with all the released from CSU all this fools are still saying the same thing that Tinubu forged his certificate despite the institution claiming he graduated from the school.
Am not surprised anyway, if they can claim to have won the election by coming distant 3rd what can't they claim MUMUDIENTS

Why dont you ask Peter Obi to show us his 3rd class degree and transcript? Also, let him show us where he got the secondary school certificate he presented for admission. A man who lied that he was in school with Peter Odili is a forger and liar. What a shame!

“There were materials in Mr. Tinubu’s records that show that he was a male. I see 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’

“We know Mr. Tinubu’s Social Security number. It’s contained in his records.

This one is for Charly Boy.

A confused man who thinks himself a boy, and is not sure of his own gender.
