Nigerian gospel artist and pastor Nathaniel Bassey is set to minister at the upcoming Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast for U.S. 



President-elect Donald Trump on January 20, 2025, in Washington, D.C. Bassey announced the invitation on his Instagram, sharing an event poster and encouraging fans, “Let’s raise a sound in America. See you on January 20, 2025.”



The Inaugural Prayer Breakfast, a non-political, faith-based gathering, occurs every four years before a new administration’s swearing-in. 



Its purpose is to provide spiritual support through prayer and worship for the U.S. government and presidency. This year’s event will be held at the prestigious Waldorf Astoria Presidential Ballroom, hosted by Reverend Merrie Turner.



In addition to Bassey, the breakfast will feature notable speakers such as Dr. Alveda King and Pastor Mario Bramnick. 



This year’s event marks a significant moment as it precedes the swearing-in of Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance.



Nathaniel Bassey, renowned for his dynamic worship music and the creator of the Hallelujah Challenge—an online Christian worship movement—has earned international acclaim for his hit tracks like “Imela,” “Onise Iyanu,” and “Olowogbogboro.” His diverse musical style, encompassing jazz, hymns, and medleys, has solidified his status as one of Nigeria&#8217;s most influential gospel ministers.



In recognition of his contributions to the community and gospel music, the Mayor of Albany, New York, declared October 6, 2024, as “Pastor Nathaniel Bassey Day.” 



His upcoming participation in the Inaugural Prayer Breakfast further underscores his growing influence in the global gospel scene.
