Nigerian P rostitutes endorse Buhari, declare 3 days of free sex if he wins

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.
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.
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.
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.

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,”
