Empty Stomach Responsible for Your Gutter Utterance Against Fintiri – Adamawa Info Commissioner Blasts Umar Calculate
The political environment in Adamawa State recently heated up after a fierce discussion between the state government and Umar Bello Jada, sometimes known as “Calculate”.
In response to strong comments levelled at Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, Adamawa State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Iliya James, offered a harsh reply, accusing Calculate of making “gutter utterances” motivated by hunger and desperation.
Umar Calculate, an associate of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, earlier attacked Governor Fintiri, accusing him of forsaking party loyalists and destroying the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) from within.
He said that Fintiri, along with other key party officials such as Iyorchia Ayu and Wike, organised the PDP’s electoral defeat, citing the loss in Edo State as an example of internal conspiracy and manipulation.
In a fiercely worded reply, Iliya denounced Calculate’s accusations as unfounded and spiteful comments from a politically irrelevant individual.
The commissioner said, “Only a man suffering from an empty stomach would engage in such gutter politics, spewing falsehood and slander against a performing governor.”
He emphasised that Governor Fintiri had brought unparalleled development to Adamawa, citing infrastructure improvements, educational reforms, and economic growth as examples of his successful leadership.
Iliya further claimed that Calculate’s assaults were a desperate attempt to reclaim political prominence after being sidelined due to his divisive remarks and lack of grassroots support.
He also advised the public not to be deceived by what he called “noise from the fringes” and reaffirmed the administration’s commitment to progressive governance and PDP unity.
The commissioner describes Umar as a disgruntled individual seeking attention who is known for stomach infrastructure in Adamawa and elsewhere.
“The last time this person was in the media, he was screaming President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s praises, much to the dismay of Atiku. When he realised that political appointments eluded him, he switched his loyalty back to Atiku.
This person is worse than Judas Iscariot, who betrayed his master for thirty pieces of silver. The statement advised Atiku to be cautious, as he could potentially turn against him if he encounters another high bidder.
