Pastor Blessed Uzochikwa, the husband of Gospel singer Mercy Chinwo, has revealed what he admired about the late conservative activist, Charlie Kirk.
Kemi Filani reported on Wednesday, August 10th, that the 31-year-old, who was a close ally of President Donald Trump and played an influential role in rallying young Republican voters, was shot and killed at a Utah College event.
Krik was speaking at a debate hosted by his nonprofit political organisation, where he was shot dead at about 12:20 p.m. The Governor had called his death a political assassination.
Investigators believed the attack was targeted, and the shooter was believed to have fired a round from the roof of a building. The event took place in a student courtyard, which was secured with the help of six Utah Valley University officers.
Reacting to the devastating news via his Instagram page, Blessed revealed that the one thing he admired about him was his clarity of convictions. He stated that, whether one agrees with him, he never wavers and boldly stands for what he believes.
Pastor Blessed said such a type of courage is rare and worth honouring.

In another post, Blessed said the gruesome murder of him was heartbreaking and painful as he noted how Charlie was a man of strong values, reflecting courage, dignity, and Christian virtues.
He stated that no one deserves to die in such a cruel way and prayed for his soul to rest in peace. He also prayed that God comforts his loved ones in this time of grief and that his killers be brought to justice.

May his soul rest in peace, and may the Lord comfort his loved ones in this time of grief. I pray that his killers will be found and brought to justice swiftly”.
A day back, gospel artists Nathaniel Bassey and Victoria Orenze had mourned him.
Nathaniel prayed for him to rest in peace.
Victoria Orenze, meanwhile, wrote a lengthy post to honour the deceased. She described the deceased as a true soldier who was now with Christ. Sending his wife and kids a consoling message, she said we are clearly in the last days and must boldly stand for Jesus Christ.
