Nathaniel Bassey to minister at Donald Trump inaugural prayer breakfast

A well-known Nigerian pastor and gospel artist has received an invitation to minister at the Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast for the incoming U.S. President on January 20, 2025, in Washington, D.C.

Reports indicate that this event, organized by Reverend Merrie Turner, is a non-governmental and non-political gathering that will precede the swearing-in ceremony of the President-elect and Vice President-elect.

The gospel minister, hailing from Akwa Ibom, has previously been honored in the United States when the Mayor of Albany, New York, declared a special day in recognition of his contributions.
