Speaking after his victory, Dr. Ogunyemi stated, “My 15 years of experience in medical leadership have equipped me with valuable insights into the pressing issues our healthcare system faces, and as CMA president-elect, I will advocate for a unified profession, a strong healthcare system, and healthier communities.”
Pending approval at the CMA’s Annual General Meeting in May 2025, Dr. Ogunyemi will assume the role of president-elect before becoming president for a one-year term in May 2026.
