Renowned gospel minister Nathaniel Bassey has accepted an invitation to lead the Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast for President-elect Donald Trump on January 20, 2025, in Washington, D.C. This significant event, a non-political gathering, is set to be hosted by Reverend Merrie Turner, preceding the inauguration ceremony.
This highly anticipated event offers a unique opportunity for spiritual reflection and unity ahead of the presidential transition. Pastor Bassey, a prominent figure in the Nigerian gospel scene, is known for his powerful and inspiring ministry, transcending geographical boundaries.
This opportunity will allow him to share his message of hope and faith with a large audience from the United States. His involvement as a minister in a prayer breakfast for a US president-elect represents a significant connection between the faith communities of both countries.
In 2024, the mayor of Albany, New York, recognized Pastor Bassey’s influence, declaring October 6th “Pastor Nathaniel Bassey Day” in the city. This gesture highlights his international recognition. The gathering also demonstrates a respect for spirituality as a key element of society.
