Sharing the development on Instagram, Zubby posted a video of his registration process and proudly displayed his ADC membership card.
He captioned the post: “I dey my village, enough of the talking online, I don involve.”
In the background of the video, a host was heard suggesting that Zubby might be eyeing a political role, possibly a seat in the House of Representatives.
Speaking in Igbo, the host remarked: “We want someone who is hot-blooded, not someone cool, who will go for a House of Representatives seat.”
While Zubby Michael himself has not confirmed any plans to contest for elective office, the move has stirred reactions among fans.
One comment that stood out read: “Village boys are active.”
His entry into the ADC comes at a time when the party is witnessing a surge in new memberships. Following the Independent National Electoral Commission’s recent decision on the party’s leadership structure, ADC National Publicity Secretary Bolaji Abdullahi announced that registrations had skyrocketed, from just over 40,000 on April 2 to more than 500,000 new members by April 5.

Legit.ng earlier reported that a throwback video of Nollywood star Zubby Michael slapping a man on a movie set has resurfaced online, just as the actor is being dragged for allegedly hospitalising fellow actor Godwin Nnadiekwe during a recent film shoot.
The clip, which has since gone viral, shows Zubby dressed in costume arguing with another man wearing a black shirt and pink shorts.

The man warned the actor, but Zubby suddenly slapped him, causing an instant commotion. Others on the set rushed in to break up the brawl.
A woman, believed to be the man's partner, could be heard shouting in the background:
“Don’t injure my husband!”
The resurfaced video has sparked fresh outrage among fans and critics, with many accusing Zubby of having a long history of aggressive behaviour during filming.
The clip re-emerged online just as news broke that Godwin Nnadiekwe had been rushed to the hospital after sustaining internal injuries from an alleged kick to the chest by Zubby while acting out a scene that reportedly required no physical contact.
In an official statement released by Nnadiekwe’s management on Saturday, it was confirmed that the actor is receiving treatment for internal bleeding and that the incident has been reported to the Actors Guild of Nigeria.

Social media has since erupted with mixed reactions. Some users believe Zubby’s intensity on set may be getting out of hand, while others are urging Nollywood authorities to step in.

Zubby Micheal clashes with Isbea U
Legit.ng reported that a shocking yet somewhat amusing video has emerged online, showing Zubby Michael clashing with comedian Isbae U during an episode of his show, On Curiosity Made Me Ask.
The altercation took place amid a tense discussion, leading Zubby to lose his temper with Isbae U .
As usual, Isbae U invited Zubby to his show and bombarded him with provocative questions. One of the questions was why Zubby doesn't take part in real-life armed robberies rather than just portraying them in his films.
