Efia Odo replies to critics over Bawumia
YEN.com.gh reported that socialite Efia Odo responded to critics saying that she only predicted that Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia would be the next president.
She further stated in a post on X that her statement did not imply that she was campaigning for the NPP and neither had she done the same for the NDC.
Many social media users did not like her response to critics, so they responded to her in the comments.
