Also, he urged couples to hold themselves through the situations of life, saying their oneness would always bring greater results.
The Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, indicated in a press statement available to ITREALMS that Governor Makinde stated this on Saturday, when he attended the wedding of the daughter of the Aare Musulumi of Yorubaland, Edo and Delta states, Alhaji Dawud Makanjuola Akinola, in Ibadan.
The governor, while congratulating the parents of the new couple, enjoined them to leave the couple to make mistakes and correct themselves without any interference.
"Let me use this opportunity to congratulate you and pray that your home shall be fruitful.
"Simply, my word of advice for everyone here and to the parents of the groom and bride is that you need to leave them to make mistakes and correct themselves. I believe no two marriages are the same.
"So, I will say to Mariam and Abdul-Jeleel that now that both of you have become one, you have to take things easy with yourselves.
"I saw how both of you were dancing while coming in. The coordinated moves in the dance steps have shown that when you both hold yourselves through situations of life, you will make a success out of this union.
"It is twenty-three (23) years that I have also been in this business of marriage and it has not been easy. But it shall be easy for you and may God make you both friends even till old age.
"I want to further advise you that there are so many distractions out there, especially in politics. We may be friends but when it is time for us to make decisions, we do that separately.
"So, there will be distractions just as I have cited an example among us politicians, but for this union, your decisions must be taken jointly.
"Mariam has her vision, Abdul-Jeleel also has his, but those visions are now joined together. So, most of the decisions that you will be taking must be taken in unison.
"Finally, those of us looking forward to this kind of goodness, I pray that your own day of joy too will come.
"So, on behalf of all of us, the Government and the people of Oyo State, I want to wish you a happy married life.
“The union shall be fruitful and filled with a lot of goodness," he said.
