Renowned Nigerian gospel artist and pastor Nathaniel Bassey is set to minister at the U.S. Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast on January 20, 2025, in Washington, D.C.
The event, led by Reverend Merrie Turner, will precede the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance.
The faith-based gathering, which will take place at the Waldorf Astoria Presidential Ballroom, will feature prominent speakers such as Dr. Alveda King and Pastor Mario Bramnick.
Sharing his excitement on Instagram, Bassey invited his followers to join in worship, saying, “Let’s raise a sound in America. See you on January 20, 2025.”
Widely celebrated for his gospel music and the Hallelujah Challenge, an influential online worship movement, Bassey received special recognition in 2024 when Albany, New York, declared October 6 as “Pastor Nathaniel Bassey Day.”
The prayer breakfast aims to offer spiritual support through prayer and worship for the incoming U.S. administration.
