Prophet Bernard Elbernard Nelson-Eshun Apologises After Failed NPP Presidential Primaries Prophecy

Prophet Bernard Elbernard Nelson-Eshun has issued a public apology after his prophetic declaration concerning the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primaries failed to materialise. The prophet had earlier stated through a book, videos, and multiple media interviews that Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong would win the NPP primaries and emerge as the party’s flagbearer.

“I Missed It, I Was Wrong” – Prophet Bernard Takes Responsibility

In a solemn statement, Prophet Bernard admitted his error without reservation, stating that the prophetic word he delivered did not come to pass. He accepted full responsibility for the failed prophecy and apologised to the many people who trusted his declaration emotionally, spiritually, and politically. The apology follows increased public scrutiny of prophetic pronouncements in Ghana, similar to debates sparked after Nigel Gaisie’s comments on Pastor Elvis Agyemang’s Alpha Hour.

Apology to Believers in Ghana and Beyond

Prophet Bernard expressed deep remorse to believers in Ghana and across the world, acknowledging that some individuals made personal and political decisions based on his prophetic word. He stressed that he does not blame anyone and fully accepts that the prophecy failed as declared. His apology comes amid growing concerns over prophetic accountability, especially after controversies such as the arrest of Prophet Fire Oja over defamation allegations involving Mzbel.

Reflection, Accountability, and Realignment

The prophet stated that the incident has forced him into deep reflection and spiritual realignment, particularly in how prophetic revelations should be communicated publicly. He reaffirmed his commitment to integrity, truth, and growth, noting that correction offered in love has been instrumental in this season. His statement aligns with broader national conversations on Ghana’s prophetic direction, as explored in GhanaMedia.net’s 2026 Ghana Prophetic Outlook and Migration analysis.

Addressing Doubts About the Voice of God

Prophet Bernard also apologised to believers whose faith may have been shaken, clarifying that his mistake should not be seen as a failure of God’s voice but rather human error in discernment. This clarification echoes past warnings within prophetic circles, including moments like when Avram Moshe cautioned Prophet Roja on sensitive prophetic declarations.

Growing Calls for Prophetic Responsibility in Ghana

The apology has reignited public discourse on the role of prophecy in Ghana’s democratic process, especially during elections. Analysts and faith leaders continue to call for restraint, verification, and humility in prophetic messaging, particularly when national politics is involved. Similar discussions have been featured by major Ghanaian media platforms such as JoyNews, Citi Newsroom, and GhanaWeb.

Prophet Bernard concluded his statement by thanking those who continue to pray for him and those who corrected him in love, reaffirming his desire to walk in accountability and truth going forward.
