Prophet Bernard Elbernard Nelson-Eshun Publicly Apologises Over Failed NPP Primaries Prophecy

Prophet Bernard Elbernard Nelson-Eshun has issued a public apology after a prophetic declaration he made ahead of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential primaries failed to materialise.

In a statement released on Wednesday, the outspoken cleric admitted that his widely publicised prophecy—that Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong would emerge victorious and become the NPP’s flagbearer—did not come to pass, describing the declaration as a clear miss for which he takes “full responsibility.”

The prophecy, according to the prophet, was shared across multiple platforms, including a book, videos, and media interviews, and was presented with prophetic authority—an action he now acknowledges had far-reaching consequences.

“I was wrong. I am deeply sorry, and I ask for your forgiveness,” he stated, conceding that many people trusted his word and were affected emotionally, spiritually, and politically by the failed prediction.

Prophet Nelson-Eshun said he was particularly remorseful to individuals who made personal or political decisions based on the prophecy, stressing that he does not blame anyone or attempt to shift responsibility.

“This prophecy, as declared, failed,” he said plainly.

Beyond the apology, the prophet described the moment as one of deep reflection, saying it has forced him to reassess how prophetic revelations are received, discerned, and communicated, especially in politically sensitive contexts.

He reaffirmed his commitment to integrity, growth, accountability, and truth, while also apologising to believers who may now harbour doubts about the voice of God as a result of his actions.

“I offer my apology to any believer in whom my actions may have sown doubt regarding the voice of God and His ability to speak to His people,” the statement read.

Prophet Nelson-Eshun also expressed gratitude to fellow believers and leaders who have corrected him “in love” and to those who continue to pray for him.

The apology has sparked renewed public conversation about the intersection of prophecy, politics, and public accountability in Ghana’s democratic space—particularly the influence religious figures wield during election cycles.
