Bio

Malik Ado-Ibrahim (born 22 December 1960) is a Nigerian businessman and politician who became the YPP presidential candidate in the 2023 election. In June 2022, he won the party's ticket with over 66 votes, defeating Ruby Issac who polled 4 votes, but did not win the 25 February 2023 presidential poll.

In business, he is described as CEO and Chairman of Nigus Enfinity, a technology-driven solutions company incorporated in Nigeria on 23 May 2001. He reportedly married Adama Indimi in 2020; she is the daughter of businessman and philanthropist Mohammed Indimi.

His profile also highlights Formula One involvement: in 1999, at age 38, he became the first Black team co-owner linked to Arrows through a consortium controlling 70% of shares and bought a one-quarter stake himself, with Arrows cars carrying the "T-Minus" sponsorship brand he owned. T-Minus reportedly generated no revenue, he ultimately did not pay for the shares, and commentators have linked those events to the team's eventual 2002 bankruptcy.
