Members of the National Association of Nigerian
Prostitutes » , NANP, has thrown its weight behind
the
candidacy of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari in the race
for the
presidential elections in February, promising to declare a
3-day free sex spree across the country if the
former
Military Head of State and presidential candidate of
the
All Progressive Congress, APC, beats incumbent President, Goodlcuk Jonathan .
The ashewos , ( commercial sex workers » ), in a
press
statement signed by the General Secretary, Jessica
Elvis,
noted that the Jonathan administration has not been
favourable for them and their trade, citing
instances when
Federal Government agents destroyed their abode,
chased
and arrested many of them and have made life unbearable
for them in many Nigerian cities especially the
Federal
capital territory, Abuja.
The scarlet ladies describes President Jonathan’s
government as oppressive to them and the the worst in the
history of Nigeria, as the harlots have been
recording
very low patronage due to the incessant
harassment by
government officials. They also see the non legalization of prostitution in
the
country as another reason they would not vote for
the
incumbent.
"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 our members 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. 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."
SHOULD PROSTITUTION REALLY BE LEGALISED IN
NIGERIA??
