The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the U.S. Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfast is a non-political, faith-based event held every four years before the swearing-in of a new administration. It focuses on prayer and worship as spiritual support for the U.S. government and presidency.
This edition will take place at the prestigious Waldorf Astoria Presidential Ballroom, hosted by Reverend Merrie Turner. The event features a lineup of distinguished speakers, including Dr. Alveda King and Pastor Mario Bramnick, ahead of the swearing-in 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.”
