Hon. Ambassador Dr. Mrs. Shirley Yeama Gbujama, an APC Success Story on Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment




Hon. Ambassador Dr. Mrs. Shirley Yeama Gbujama, an APC Success Story on Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment, was promoted today in a nice prose by SLPP stalwart Dr. David Sengeh but David forgot to mention that Hon. Gbujama is an APC (All Peoples Congress) Success Story on Gender Equality & Women's Empowerment. Hon. Shirley Gbujama, an eminent woman of substance was first spotted and elevated *in 1972* by the Mighty APC party in governance under His Excellency President Dr. Siaka Probyn Stevens of blessed memory and Foreign Minister Professor Solomon Pratt (my maternal grandfather).


It was H.E. President Siaka Stevens, as APC Leader and President of Sierra Leone who, on the recommendation of a then dynamic 🚩APC Women's Congress of Madam Nancy Steele, appointed Madam Shirley Gbujama as a female Ambassador of Sierra Leone to first, our Addis Ababa mission at the now African Union (then known as OAU), Ethiopia, Tanzania and several east African countries in the year 1972 and she served APC/President Stevens as Sierra Leone Ambassador in Addis Ababa covering all those nations for four years until 1976.


In 1976, the Great APC Leader, H.E. President Dr. Siaka Stevens of the APC, again appointed Madam Shirley Gbujama as the Sierra Leone Permanent Representative and Ambassador to the United Nations in New York where she served the APC led Government of Siaka Stevens from 1976 to 1978.


Hon. Ambassador Dr. Mrs. Shirley Yeama Gbujama is one of the numerous APC Success Stories - First identified by the APC. First elevated by the APC. First popularized by the APC. 


May God continue to bless the soul of APC Leader H.E. President Dr. Siaka Stevens for it to continue to rest in perfect peace for his service in many areas including in the area of Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment. Amen.
