Nathaniel Bassey, the popular Nigerian pastor and popular gospel musician, has been invited to minister at the Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump set to take place on January 20, 2025, in Washington, D.C.

The event which is non-governmental and non-political, will be hosted by Reverend Merrie Turner, ahead of the swearing-in ceremony of President-elect Donald J. Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance.

The “Hallelujah Challenge” host is no stranger to the United States.

Recall that in 2024, the Mayor of Albany, New York, announced October 6 as “Pastor Nathaniel Bassey Day” in the city.

Bassey disclosed his participation in the Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast via a post he shared on his X handle on Saturday, January 4.

The caption reads: “Let’s raise a sound in America. And let the king of glory come in. See you 20th January, 2025.”
