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.
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.
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.
Well, but the last time I asked someone, he said, "Buhari looks like a man that will stop jedi, orijin and night parties at Elegushi/Oniru Beach".
hahahaha don't worry , that's one of the "change" they are talking about.. to legalize prostitution...God help us!!
