Dimkpa said: “You don’t have to be a Muslim, neither do you have to belong to any particular religious sect to know that God is God. And if we are all one people as we ought to be, then helping our Muslim brothers to get this mosque which they have been praying to have for a long time is a clarion call.”(Blueprint)
