Nigeria’s Nathaniel Bassey To Minster At Donald Trump’s Inaugural Prayer Breakfast
Nigerian pastor and gospel minister, Nathaniel Bassey, has been invited to minister at the Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast for U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.
The event slated for January 20, 2025, at the Waldorf Astoria Presidential Ballroom, Washington, D.C., will precede the swearing-in ceremony of Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance.
The gathering, which is a non-governmental and non-political affair, will be hosted by Reverend Merrie Turner.
Pastor Bassey will join a lineup of speakers and ministers, including Dr. Alveda King, Pastor Mario Bramnick, Revivalist Rebecca Macchi, and Dr. Dominiquae Bierman.
Confirming his participation on Instagram on Sunday, Nathaniel Bassey said, “Let’s raise a sound in America. And let the King of Glory come in. See you 20th January, 2025.
“The Presidential Prayer Breakfast is a non-official and non-governmental event. It is a faith-based platform where intercessory prayers and worship are offered to God on behalf of the office of the president and the government of the nation.
“This event is held once every four years, preceding the inauguration ceremony, as a breakfast prayer meeting ahead of every new administration,” he said.
In 2024, he was honoured by the Mayor of Albany, New York, who declared October 6 as “Pastor Nathaniel Bassey Day” in recognition of his contributions to gospel music and his positive impact on communities worldwide.
