Represented by his son, Sheikh AbdulHakim AbdulHamid, the Islamic scholar noted that no marriage is without challenges and therefore implored the newlyweds to persevere, be patient and work and pray together in unity.
In a goodwill message, the OluIbeji of Bolorunduro Ife, Oba Dhikirullahi Olagbaju Akintola, appealed to the parents of the couple to allow the marriage to work by avoiding interference.
