Apostle Onyinah, who is also a former Church of Pentecost Chairman, expressed his excitement about the rare move by the Chief Imam.
He said this should be an example for all faiths to emulate.
This comes on the back of the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s call on Ghanaians to voluntarily contribute funds towards the construction expected to cost about $200 million.
Meanwhile, an initiative dubbed ‘100-cedis-a-month club’ has been launched to enable Ghanaians contribute their quota.
