In one of her posts on X, the famous socialite noted that she did not campaign for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), nor did she do the same for the NPP.
She explained that it was her prayer that Dr Bawumia is in his best possible form so that the country could flourish under his presidency.
"I never campaigned for NDC, I’m neither campaigning for NPP, But I said Bawumia is our next president. It is my prayer that Mr Bawumia comes into his God self so that Ghana can flourish under his presidency in a way it’s never flourished before."
Efia Odo later made another statement on X, saying that if she had an image to protect, she would not have made the bold statement she made about the vice president.
The host of the controversial podcast Rants, Bants, and Confessions stressed that her former statement had not induced any voters to vote for Dr Bawumia.
Responding to the critics, she noted that just as Jesus was spat on and insulted, she believed it should be done to her since she made those bold statements that did not seem to augur well with many.
"If I had an image to protect, wouldn’t you guys think it’ll be dumb of me to make such a bold prediction. I haven’t asked anyone to vote for Bawumia but yet I say he’ll be the next president. Insult me, spit at me. It was done to the master it should be done to me!"
