Malik Ado Ibrahim, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Youth Progressive Party, YPP and founder of Reset Nigeria Initiative has bounced back after losing at the 2023 presidential election. The politician, who is also an accomplished polo player and race driver, didn’t secure enough votes to place him among the top four candidates who had an upper hand at the recently concluded election. After his defeat at the polls, he quietly withdrew from the political scene and returned to his business. He recently signed a deal with Turksat Satellite communication in Turkey to unveil his own digital cable company, Next TV Digital which comprises Next TV and Satellite.
Next TV Digital will operate both in Nigeria and some West African countries, offering digital broadcast, financial services broadband internet access, television and film contents over the internet. Nigeria and Africa’s best and brightest hands in Information Technology and entertainment are already on board to make Ado-Ibrahim’s dream a reality. With this new addition to his growing list of businesses, Ado-Ibrahim is gradually building a conglomerate just like his father-in-law, Mohammed Indimi, who is one of the richest men in the world. Indidmi owns Oriental Energy Resources Limited, one of the leading indigenous oil and gas companies in Nigeria. He single handedly built a 100-unit housing estate for Internally Disposed Person in Born State. Ado-Ibrahim is also the heir apparent of one of the most respected families in Nigeria. His father, Alhaji Dr Abdul Rahman Ado Ibrahim, is a traditional ruler, the respected Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, Kogi State.
