Of course there are political ponzis like Beningnat.
The 3 major features of a ponzi scheme are:
(1) Predicating something on nothing,
(2) Contrived and exaggerated portfolio,
(3) Forceful, persistent and endearing PR strategy.
Wherever you see this three put together, you are likely looking at a ponzi arrangement; be it in business, religion or politics, all those are red flags and prompts for the exit button.
Currently, we have people in Anambra who have done nothing all their lives mouthing exaggerated portfolios, put in our faces daily by well paid PR specialists. This lot, like Andy Uba, have come up with choreographed media presentations aimed at affording them opportunities to deny or doctor their past, coming up with the promise of a future their present capacity does not and cannot guarantee.
Their hope is to get you to invest your votes in their ponzi political arrangement. When you ask them of their capacity to execute anything the only thing you will get is the “I made him, I made her” cacophony. “I recommended him, I recommended her” super story. How all this amount to running an impressive statecraft remains a difficult knot for them to untie.
Trust me, Andy Uba is a political ponzi scheme. Do not invest your vote in him.
