Nathaniel Bassey break silence on performing at Trump’s inauguration

Popular Nigerian gospel artist Nathaniel Bassey has refuted claims that he will perform at President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20th.

The singer addressed rumors circulating across social and traditional media, stating he was not invited to the occasion.

Bassey clarified that the reports stemmed from confusion surrounding the Presidential Prayer Breakfast, an event unrelated to the official inauguration.

He explained that the Prayer Breakfast, a non-governmental and non-official gathering, is traditionally held every four years in the United States, preceding the inauguration of new presidents.

“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 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. And over the years has been attended by leaders and dignitaries from around the world

“Please note, The Presidential Inaugural Prayer Breakfasts is not the Inauguration as reported by blogs and some online platforms,” Pastor Bassey said.
