According to a report from the Tribune News, the national chairman of the Association of Middle Belt Ethnic Nationalities, Mr. Sule Kwasau, advocated for shared sacrifice across all levels of society, including the executive branch, emphasizing that the burden should not solely fall on the general population.

Kwasau highlighted the wasteful practices within the government, arguing that there is an excessive number of ministers and vehicles assigned to them. He pointed out the inefficient allocation of police resources, noting that police officers are often assigned to politically connected individuals who are not government officials, which ultimately diverts public funds.
Kwasau stressed the need for a more responsible and efficient use of government resources to address these issues. He emphasized that calls for sacrifice should apply to everyone, not just the masses, and criticized the current wasteful government practices, such as the excessive number of ministers and vehicles and the misuse of police resources for politically exposed persons.

During an interview with The Nigerian Tribune, He remarked, "Once there is a call for sacrifice, I think it should run across the board. It should not only be the masses that should tighten their belts but even the executives. The way we run our government in this country, there is so much waste, and that is the truth. You (Tinubu) don’t need this number of ministers, and you don’t need this number of vehicles attached to ministers. Look at even the shortage we have in the police force. When you see a politically exposed person who is not even in government, a policeman is attached to him and being paid from public funds."
