Renowned Nigerian gospel artist and pastor Nathaniel Bassey has been invited to minister at the Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast for U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on January 20, 2025, in Washington, D.C.
The Akwa Ibom-born pastor announced the invitation via Instagram, sharing an event poster with the caption: “Let’s raise a sound in America. See you on January 20, 2025.” According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the U.S. Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast is a non-political, faith-based gathering held every four years ahead of the swearing-in of a new administration. The event focuses on prayer and worship to provide spiritual support for the presidency and government.
This year’s prayer breakfast, hosted by Reverend Merrie Turner, will take place at the prestigious Waldorf Astoria Presidential Ballroom. It will feature notable speakers, including Dr. Alveda King and Pastor Mario Bramnick, in preparation for the inauguration of Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance.
Bassey, known for his powerful worship music and as the convener of the Hallelujah Challenge, an online Christian worship movement, has gained global recognition for songs like “Imela,” “Onise Iyanu,” and “Olowogbogboro.” His music, which spans genres such as jazz, hymns, and medleys, has made him one of Nigeria’s most celebrated gospel ministers.
In 2024, his contributions were further recognized when the Mayor of Albany, New York, declared October 6 as “Pastor Nathaniel Bassey Day.”
