For him, one Muslims have a National Mosque, it is only natural that Christians have a similar structure built for them.

“I don’t have a problem with the cathedral. Why that is that Muslims find it prudent to come up with this huge edifice and some Christians oppose the cathedral. What is good about it is that the money will not be coming from the government,” he said.
