Yesterday,Saturday,November 5,2022, in Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia, I happily handed over to my good brother and comrade,Dr.Raj Muruga (President of the Malaysian Medical Association), as President of the Commonwealth Medical Association, having satisfactorily completed my 3 year tenure (November 5,2019-November 5,2022). It was indeed a memorable moment for me and all members of the Commonwealth Medical Association.
I want to thank all those who offered a hand of support,encouragement and prayers during my very eventful and engaging tenure. I will always appreciate you all.
To members of my CMA Executive (2019-2022), our past presidents,Dr.Roland Aigbovo,Prof.Joseph Ana,Dr.Abdulgafar Jimoh,Prof.Datuk Lekhraj Rampal, Prof.Francis Faduyile,Mr.Samuel Awowo, members of the CMA Healthcare Excellence Award Committee, and the CMA Newsletter committee that I established, I thank them for the understanding,cooperation and support extended to me during my tenure.
To my CMD,Prof.Darlington Obaseki,my HOD,Dr.Adewole Afolabi,my brother,Chief Engr.Owen Obaseki,and many more I cannot state here for want of space,I say thank you.
To my wife,Associate Professor Joan Enabulele,and all my children (Efosa,Omorovbiye,Osarumwense),you were extraordinary with your love,understanding and support.
I remain grateful to my mum,brothers and sisters,my parents-in-law and all my inlaws, for their sustained support.
As I proceed to continue my current work as President of the World Medical Association,
I feel extremely fulfilled with the progressive strides my CMA leadership made, with some solid legacies left behind. This is despite the huge constraints and challenges we had to overcome.
I sincerely wish the new CMA Leadership success as they strive to move the CMA even higher.
To God be the glory.
