President

Answer
After forcing Maga to resign, Soglo appointed him as Minister of State, a position that had little real power. This was seen as a way for Soglo to appease Maga and prevent him from becoming a political opponent. However, Maga remained a critic of Soglo's government and eventually left the government to form his own political party.
