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.
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 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.
