Commercial sex workers in the country
under the aegis of the National Association of Nigerian Prostitutes,
NANP, have thrown their weight behind the Presidential candidate of the
All Progressives Congress, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.
NANP said it
would declare a-three day free sex across the country if president
Jonathan eventually loses the seat to Gen. Muhammadu Buhari of APC.
Recall
that the group had in 2013 declared one-week free sex after the Super
Eagles defeated Burkina Faso to lift the AFCON trophy after almost 20
years.

A statement signed by the group’s General Secretary,
Jessica Elvis noted that NANP was not happy with Jonathan’s government
over the way commercial sex workers were being treated in the country
since he assumed office as the first citizen.
It described
Jonathan’s government as the worst in the history of Nigeria, saying
that it recorded the lowest income during his tenure.
The statement also quoted Elvis as saying that several approaches to the presidency to legalize prostitution were turned down.
DAILY
POST recalls that a female prostitute, Patoo Abraham last year led
protests in Lagos to seek a better place for prostitutes in Nigeria.
Abraham
who heads the Nigerian chapter of African Sex Workers Alliance (ASWA)
and the Women of Power Initiative (WOPI), led the protests with
demonstrators wearing T-shirts screaming “Sex work is work, we need our
rights”.
“We are tired of dying in silence; we want to be able to
practice our profession with pride like every other person. We want an
end to name-calling and stigmatisation. We are sex workers and not asawo
[a derogatory Yoruba name for prostitutes]”, She told Aljazeera.
“Sex
work is normal work and there are sex workers everywhere under one form
of disguise or the other. The government should stop criminalising our
work”, she further said.
Backing Abraham’s point, Elvis said for
failing to legalize prostitution, the group would not support Jonathan
for a second term.
“We sent a proposal to the government in March
2, 2012, almost a year after Jonathan was fully elected as president of
Nigeria on the need to legalize prostitution. That was when our late
president, Micah Ejoyo was alive, but the presidency rather declared war
on us by arresting some members on the street of Abuja.

“Most of
them are students who are using the job to pursue their education. We
all cannot work in Aso Rock, NNPC or Shell. We don’t rob people. We are
using our endowment to fend for ourselves. We deserve to be respected.
Enough of this hypocrisy because even Jonathan and his team are not
saints.”
Speaking further, the statement as obtained by DAILY
POST on Friday enjoined all members of the association to come out en
mass come February 14 to vote out Jonathan from Aso Rock.
“We are
calling on all our members and every Nigerian in particular to join the
march. No to Jonathan! Because under Jonathan’s government, we lost
over 400 members in the north to the Boko Haram insurgency and we are
not ready to lose anybody again. We would be declaring a three-day free
sex if God eventually sends Jonathan out of Aso Rock. You can count on
us. We did it before and we can do it again. Enough is enough,” the
statement added.
