The party, without stating the cause of his death, added that the deceased's numerous contributions to the entrenchment of democratic tenets of justice, equity, and good governance in Nigeria will immortalise him.
A part on the statement read:
Chief Nweze was a quintessential administrator, a dogged democrat, remarkably humble team player and grassroots mobilizer, who made innumerable sacrifices for the stability and growth of our party and remained loyal to the good cause, for which our party is known, to the very end.
"It is painful that Agbalanze left the scene at a time our great party and indeed the people of Anambra need his wealth of experience, political sagacity and forthrightness the most, but we take solace in the fact that he lived a fulfilled life in the service of humanity to the glory of God."
The PDP commiserated with the bereaved family and called on God to grant those he left behind the strength to bear what they described as an irreparable loss.
