He defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Nwogu made this known in a letter addressed to the Abia chairman of PDP, Chief Johnson Onuigbo, and forwarded to DAILY POST on Monday evening.

Part of the letter reads, “I wish to thank the PDP for the opportunity given me to serve as the Isiala Ngwa North chapter chairman for number of years, but wish to notify you of my decision to quit my as the chairman of the party due to some political distrust, intimidation and alienation orchestrating disunity, backbiting and political rancour in Isiala Ngwa North LGA despite my efforts”.
