The Founder and General Overseer of Spiritlife Revival Ministries, Prophet Bernard El-Bernard Eshun has publicly apologised to Ghanaians after admitting that a political prophecy he delivered ahead of the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) presidential primaries failed to come to pass.
In a statement titled “Public Statement & Apology,” the prophet acknowledged that he wrongly prophesied that Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong would emerge victorious in the NPP primaries and go on to become the party’s flagbearer.
“That word did not come to pass. I missed it,” Prophet Eshun admitted, taking full responsibility for the declaration he made publicly.
He expressed deep remorse over the impact of the prophecy, noting that many people trusted his words because they were delivered with prophetic authority. According to him, the outcome affected individuals not only politically, but also emotionally and spiritually.
“I was wrong, I am deeply sorry, and I ask for your forgiveness,” he stated. “Because I spoke publicly with prophetic authority, many people trusted my word. Some were affected emotionally, spiritually, and politically by my prophecy.”
Prophet Eshun offered a direct apology to those who relied on his declaration, particularly individuals who may have taken decisions based on the prophecy.
“I sincerely apologize to everyone who trusted my word. I am especially sorry to those who made decisions based on what I declared,” he said.
In a rare show of accountability within Ghana’s prophetic space, the prophet stressed that he was not shifting blame or making excuses for the failed prediction.
“I do not blame anyone or shift responsibility. This prophecy was mine, and I accept the consequences,” he added.
The apology has sparked renewed public discussion around political prophecies in Ghana, especially their influence on public opinion and political decision-making during election periods.
Prophet Bernard El-Bernard Eshun’s statement marks a significant moment of reflection, as calls continue to grow for greater caution and responsibility in the intersection of religion and politics.
