Prophet Bernard Elbernard Nelson-Eshun has apologised after declaring publicly that Kennedy Ohene Agyapong would win the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primary, citing divine revelation.
Following news that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, a contender for the flagbearer position, has emerged victorious, Prophet ElBernard said he missed the prophecy while asking Ghanaians for forgiveness.
In his apology, Prophet ElBernard acknowledged his mistake, saying, “I stated that Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong would win the primaries and become the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party. That word did not come to pass. I missed it. I was wrong, I am deeply sorry, and I ask for your forgiveness.”
Prophet Nelson-Eshun said he is stepping back “for a season” to focus on reflection, prayer, and strengthening accountability in his prophetic ministry.
He emphasised that he is not abandoning his calling or ministry but rather seeking to realign himself in growth, integrity, and discernment.
“In the same spirit of responsibility, I have also decided to step back for a season from public teaching, preaching, and pulpit ministry.
This is a deliberate and voluntary step to allow for reflection, prayer, counsel, and the strengthening of accountability in how prophetic revelations are received, interpreted, and communicated,” he said.
The prophet apologised for any concerns raised by his previous declarations and thanked his followers for their understanding and prayers.
