Popular Nigerian pastor and gospel singer Nathaniel Bassey has been invited to serve at the U.S. Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast, scheduled for January 20, 2025, in Washington D.C. It is expected to take place several hours before the swearing-in of President-elect Donald Trump and his Vice, JD Vance. The event is put together by Reverend Merrie Turner.
The globally acclaimed Nathaniel Bassey, known for his soul-stirring worship and inspiring ministry, keeps making waves internationally. This is not his first brush with U.S. recognition. In October 2024, the Mayor of Albany, New York, honored him by declaring October 6 “Pastor Nathaniel Bassey Day” in the city-a testament to his growing global impact.
The Presidential Inauguration Breakfast is a nondiscriminatory and spiritual event that occurs every four years. It brings together leaders and believers alike in prayer for divine guidance and blessings upon the new administration. With Nathaniel Bassey at the helm, it would really be one of those spiritual moments, leading such a gathering into worship and intercession.
This is another moment of pride for Nigeria and the global gospel community, a proud moment showing the power of faith, the influence of African voices on the world stage.
