Renowned Nigerian gospel singer and pastor, Nathaniel Bassey, is set to grace the Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast for U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. The event, a cherished tradition of spiritual reflection and intercession, will take place on January 20, 2025, in the heart of the U.S. capital.

Pastor Bassey, affectionately called “Pastor Nat” by his global fan base, shared the news on his Instagram account, expressing enthusiasm for the opportunity to minister at this high-profile gathering. “Let’s raise a sound in America and let the King of Glory come in,” he wrote, inviting followers to join in prayerful support.

The Presidential Prayer Breakfast is a non-official and non-governmental event. It is a faith-based platform where intercessory prayers and worship are offered to God on behalf of the office of the president and the government of the nation.

This event is held once in four years preceding the inauguration ceremony as a breakfast prayer meeting ahead of every new administration.

Over the years has been attended by leaders and dignitaries from around the world

The Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast, hosted by Reverend Merrie Turner, serves as a platform for global Christian leaders, policymakers, and worshippers to unite in prayer and worship. Held every four years on the morning of the Presidential Inauguration, the event seeks to invoke divine blessings and guidance for the incoming administration and the nation at large.

Though not an official government event, the breakfast is deeply rooted in faith and tradition, drawing dignitaries and spiritual leaders from around the world. It emphasizes unity and intercession, offering a moment of spiritual grounding before the formalities of the inauguration ceremony.

Pastor Bassey, who was honored in 2024 with a commemorative “Pastor Nathaniel Bassey Day” in Albany, New York, joins a distinguished list of attendees for the 2025 gathering. Known for his soul-stirring worship and hit songs such as “Imela” and “Olowogbogboro,” his participation highlights the growing influence of Nigerian gospel music on the global stage.

This year’s prayer breakfast continues a tradition that transcends political divides, emphasizing the role of faith in public life. With its theme of intercession and unity, the event promises to set a spiritually charged tone for the incoming administration’s journey.
