The students leaders said Nigeria would not grow at a desirable rate with the ways and manners the leaders are governing it.
The Amir (leader) of the Muslim Students Society of Nigeria, Dr. Saheed Ashafa, has heavily criticised Nigerian ruling class and warned them of the impending death of the country.
Speaking at the formal opening of the 104th Islamic Vacation Course (IVC) organised by the MSSN, Lagos State Area Unit in Epe, Ashafa said Nigeria would not grow at a desirable rate with the ways and manners the leaders are governing it.
“This nation will die because of the way those at the helms of affairs are running it. It is under a shade that cannot guarantee success, a shade that makes it vulnerable to attack.
“We cannot sustain this nation with the excessive insincerity, gross deceit, inestimable greed and lack of transparency and accountability among the ruling class. He said.
Ashafa urges leaders and followers to follow the path of Allah
The Muslim students' leader in his speech therefore, urged Nigerian leaders and citizens to submit themselves to the Shade of the Qu’ran to avoid running from one problem to another.
“If both the leaders and followers do not submit ourselves to the Shade of the Qu’ran, we will continue to run from one problem to the other.

“Corruption will continue to take new dimensions; just as it has moved from being covered with an umbrella to being swept under the carpet.
“Our problems will not leave us without a concerted effort to be guided by the Book of Allah, where all humans are treated equally. No hijab victimisation, no religious sentiment, no gender bias and no tribal discrimination.
For Nigeria to develop, our system of governance must follow that prescribed by Allah''.
The Islamic Vacation Course, IVC is an initiative of the Muslim Student Society of Nigeria, MSSN.
