Ghanaian socialite and actress, Efia Odo has denied endorsing Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia ahead of the 2024 elections.
This follows backlash from her recent statement on social media, which some interpreted as a show of support for the ruling party’s candidate.
Efia Odo had posted on X that she believed Bawumia would win the upcoming elections.
However, this remark was met with mixed reactions, with many accusing her of endorsing the Vice President.
Many were also surprised by how critical Efia Odo had on the government and even participated in demonstrations.
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.
“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😌.”

Efia shared insights into her spiritual transformation, emphasizing her commitment to living intentionally in alignment with her newfound faith.

Efia explained that her previous search for love and fulfillment in worldly desires has now been replaced with a deeper connection to Christ.
“All I have is God because we would lose our parents one day. The love I was seeking in the world, I find in Christ, so I no longer seek and desire things of the world. What God has planned for me is different from what people think about me.”
