Impeccable sources familiar with events  within the Presidency and the ruling party said the ‘crucial’  visit was precipitated by ”the urgent need to brief Mr President on events since the new Chairman took over as well as bring him up to speed with the preparations for the   March 17 NEC Meeting and the March 26 National Convention.
