According to **Daily Post Nigeria**, popular Nollywood actor Zubby Michael has officially declared his intention to run for a seat in the House of Representatives. Representing the Ekwusigo/Nnewi North/South Federal Constituency, the actor made the announcement in his hometown of Ozubulu after picking up the membership form for the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The news has sent ripples through both the entertainment and political spheres in Anambra State, as the “Doings” crooner shifts his focus toward the 2027 general elections. **The Nation Nigeria** reports that the actor’s move is seen as a significant strategy to engage the youth in his constituency, noting that “Michael’s popularity among young voters could be a game-changer for the ADC.” Meanwhile, **Vanguard News** confirmed the development, quoting a local official who stated, “Zubby’s entry into the race under the ADC brings a fresh energy to the political landscape of Ekwusigo.”
**Echotitbits take:** Zubby Michael is leveraging a massive fan base to transition into governance, following the footsteps of colleagues like Desmond Elliot. While the ADC is an opposition party, his sheer star power makes him a formidable contender; however, the real test will be whether his “street credibility” can translate into a structured legislative victory against established political machineries.
