Popular Nollywood actor Zubby Michael has made a bold political move after obtaining the membership form of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), signalling his intention to contest for a seat in the House of Representatives.
The actor is reportedly eyeing the Nnewi North, Nnewi South and Ekwusigo Federal Constituency seat in Anambra State. He made his declaration shortly after officially joining the ADC in his hometown, Ozubulu Ward 5, located in Ekwusigo Local Government Area.
Zubby’s entry into partisan politics adds to the growing list of Nigerian entertainers who are gradually transitioning from the entertainment industry into active political participation.
His declaration was received with mixed reactions from fans and political observers, many of whom see it as a significant development ahead of the 2027 general elections.
His political ambition comes at a time when several celebrities from the South-East region are aligning with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), particularly through the growing APC City Boys Movement, which is reportedly aimed at mobilising youth and entertainers in support of President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid.
However, Zubby’s decision to pitch his tent with the opposition ADC appears to set him on a different political path, one that may influence the dynamics of political engagement in Anambra State and the broader South-East region.
Political analysts believe that his popularity in Nollywood could give him an advantage in reaching young voters and entertainment fans, especially in a region where celebrity influence continues to play a role in shaping public opinion.
While some supporters have praised his courage to venture into politics, others have questioned whether his experience in the entertainment industry will translate into effective governance if elected.
As the 2027 elections draw closer, Zubby Michael’s political journey is expected to attract significant attention, particularly as more entertainers continue to explore opportunities within Nigeria’s political landscape.
For now, his declaration marks the beginning of what could be a competitive race in the Nnewi North, Nnewi South and Ekwusigo Federal Constituency, where established politicians and new entrants are expected to battle for voter support.
With his growing influence and public recognition, Zubby’s move into politics adds another layer of excitement and unpredictability to the upcoming electoral season in Anambra State.
