“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 every four years, preceding the inauguration ceremony, as a breakfast prayer meeting ahead of every new administration,” Bassey added.
In recognition of his contributions to gospel music and positive influence on communities worldwide, Bassey was honored in 2024 by the Mayor of Albany, New York, who declared October 6 as “Pastor Nathaniel Bassey Day.”
