So, why should I give them the deputy position? I did my calculation, and I knew we could win the election without giving them the deputy governor”, adding later that "of course, Kubau [a Muslim area] voted for us the most, so I’ll add something to Kubau because they voted for us. What I’ll give Jaba [a Christian area], I’ll increase it for Kubau because Jaba didn’t vote for us."
I considered giving them the deputy position because my analysis showed we could win without it. However, since Kubau, a predominantly Muslim region, voted for us most heavily, I plan to boost their share at the expense of Jaba, a Christian region that didn't support us.
