Rocking Chair repair

Hi y'all, first time posting here. And I am glad to BE here.

I was asked to repair and restore an ole child's rocking chair. The
seat is cracked it a number of places and was repaired (badly I might
say). The splits have glue coming from them and I am afraid the wood
will split if I try to pry them open.

Can anyone guide me as to how or what to use to soften this old glue so
that I might remove it and repair with minimal damage?

Again very happy to be a part of this group.

Mike
