Nollywood “bad boy” Zubby Michael has officially traded the movie set for the political arena, joining the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in a move that has sent ripples through both the entertainment and political sectors.
The actor, known for his high-energy roles and “Eze Doings” persona, registered as a member in his hometown of Ozubulu, Ekwusigo Local Government Area, Anambra State, on Saturday, April 11, 2026.
The Ambition: House of Representatives
While initially described as “rumors,” the actor’s intentions have become significantly clearer following his formal registration:
- Target Seat: Reports indicate Zubby is eyeing the House of Representatives seat for the Nnewi North/Nnewi South/Ekwusigo Federal Constituency in the 2027 General Elections.
- The “Action” Philosophy: Explaining his move, Zubby took to social media with the caption: “I dey my village, enough of the talking online, I don involve.” He emphasized that he is transitioning from online commentary to active participation in governance.
- Local Support: The moment he received his membership card from his ward chairman was captured in a viral video, where supporters were heard calling for “fresh blood” and a “hot-blooded” representative to take the fight for the constituency to Abuja.
Strategic Political Timing
Zubby’s entry into the ADC comes at a fascinating time for the party:
- The Peter Obi Factor: Many fans have noted that by joining the ADC, Zubby is aligning with a party that has seen a massive surge in membership since its leadership stabilization in early 2026. This is seen by some as a move to capture the “youth vote” and the momentum of the Obidient movement in the South-East.
- South-East Realignment: His move contrasts with other South-East celebrities who have recently tilted toward the ruling APC. By choosing the ADC, Zubby is positioning himself as a primary opposition voice in Anambra State.
