General Overseer of Spiritlife Revival Ministries Prophet Bernard ElBernard Nelson-Eshun has apologised for wrongfully prophesying that Kennedy Ohene Agyapong will emerge victorious in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential primaries.
He had as recent as Friday urged Ken Agyapong to “run, celebrate and jubilate for I hear the sound of victory”.
But results from Saturday’s polls projected former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia as the clear winner.
A few moments after the results were projected by many media houses, Prophet ElBernard issued an unqualified apology to all.
“I wish to address the inaccurate prophetic declarations I made concerning the New Patriotic Party presidential primaries,” his statement on Saturday opened.
“Through a book, videos and media interviews, 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 forgiveness.
“Because I spoke publicly with prophetic authority, many people trusted my word, and some were affected emotionally, spiritually, and politically. I acknowledge this with humility.
