Respected Nigerian pastor and gospel artist Nathaniel Bassey is set to minister at the Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast for President-elect Donald Trump on January 20, 2025, in Washington, D.C. This significant event precedes the inauguration ceremony and serves as a spiritual gathering aimed at providing prayerful support for the incoming administration.

Hosted by Reverend Merrie Turner, the breakfast is a non-political and faith-based occasion that underscores the importance of prayer in governance. Bassey, known for his powerful worship songs and as the founder of the globally recognized Hallelujah Challenge, has gained international acclaim for his music, including hits like “Imela” and “Olowogbogboro.”

This invitation marks a monumental achievement for Bassey and the global Christian community, as he becomes the only Nigerian and African artist featured in this prestigious lineup. His participation reflects a growing recognition of African gospel music on international platforms.

Bassey’s journey has been celebrated in various ways, including being honored with “Pastor Nathaniel Bassey Day” in Albany, New York, in October 2024. His ministry continues to inspire many, emphasizing the power of faith and worship.

As anticipation builds for this historic event, supporters are encouraged to join in prayer and celebration, recognizing this opportunity as a significant win for the body of Christ.
