Reactions to Ms Nancy’s message to ElBernard

Social media users who took to the comments section of the video have shared varied opinions on the comments by Kevin Taylor.

RN_Juls stated:

"Honestly, I was very scared of the reactions of KT when this whole thing happened. I was expecting he’ll come and backlash our prophet, but Charley, thank you, KT."

DUSTED added:

"I don't even know why he is apologising and staying away from the pulpit for almost a year... I just don't get it."

pierro_D P stated:

"I don't think anybody expected an apology from him. To me, the apology rather suggests that he was saying everything from his own plan and not from God. Some of us are concerned about his approach during the prophetic campaign."
