Popular Nollywood actor, Azubuike Michael, widely known as Zubby Michael, has officially stepped into the political arena, becoming a registered member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Anambra State.
The actor completed his registration on Saturday in his hometown of Ozubulu, marking a significant shift from the entertainment industry to active political participation.
His move was made public through a video shared on his Instagram page, where he was seen receiving his membership card from his ward chairman.
In a caption accompanying the video, Zubby Michael hinted at his readiness to go beyond social media commentary and engage directly in the political process.
“I dey my village, enough of the talking online, I don involve,” he wrote, signaling a more hands-on approach to national issues.
Although voices in the background of the video suggested a possible ambition for elective office, including a potential run for a seat in the House of Representatives, the actor has yet to make any formal declaration regarding his political aspirations.
Zubby Michael’s entry into politics reflects a growing trend of Nollywood personalities transitioning into public service, leveraging their popularity and influence to connect with grassroots communities.
His decision is seen by observers as part of a broader realignment ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The development also comes at a time when the ADC is experiencing increased visibility and membership growth across the country, positioning itself as a formidable opposition platform in the evolving political landscape..
