In response to the controversy, Efia Odo took to X (formerly Twitter) again to clarify her position. She stressed that predicting an election outcome did not equate to supporting a particular candidate. She insinuated that her belief in Bawumia’s potential victory was purely observational and not an indication of her voting choice. She also made it clear that she had not taken any bribes. In her post, she wrote:

"I didn’t say I’m voting for Bawumia. I said he’s winning the election. Even if I tweeted Mahama or Cheddar is winning, you would’ve said I’ve taken a bribe😌."
