Nollywood Actor Zubby Michael Joins ADC, declares ambition

Popular Nollywood actor and filmmaker Zubby Michael has officially announced his intention to run for a seat in Nigeria’s House of Representatives, marking a major shift from entertainment to active politics.

The actor made this known through his X (formerly Twitter) page, where he shared a video of the moment he formally joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC). In the video, Zubby Michael is seen receiving his membership form, confirming his entry into the party and his readiness to begin his political journey.

While speaking about his decision, Zubby Michael explained that he is moving beyond social media commentary and wants to be directly involved in leadership and decision-making.

According to him, it is time to take practical steps toward contributing to the development of the country rather than just talking about issues online.

Although he did not mention the exact constituency he plans to represent, his announcement has already generated a lot of reactions across social media and within political circles. Fans, colleagues in the entertainment industry, and political observers have all expressed curiosity about how he will handle the transition from acting to politics.

Many people believe his popularity could give him an advantage, while others say he will need to prove his capability in governance and public service.

His outspoken personality and strong presence in Nollywood have made him a well-known figure, which could play a role in his political ambitions.

Zubby Michael’s move adds to the growing number of Nigerian entertainers who are stepping into politics in recent years.

This trend shows how the country’s democratic space is evolving, with more public figures using their influence to seek political positions and represent the people.

As the situation develops, more details are expected about his campaign plans, political agenda, and the constituency he intends to contest.

For now, his declaration has set the stage for what could become one of the more talked-about political journeys in the coming elections.
