The president's move to unify the party may be interpreted as an attempt to engineer a united front as he has come under public scrutiny from past leaders in the past couple of weeks.

Former president, Olusegun Obasanjo and former Head of State, Ibrahim Babangida, have urged the president to not seek reelection in the 2019 presidential election.
