The committee decided on a two-week shift, a development that may not have gone down well with other stakeholders of the party, most of whom are agitating that the APC National convention should hold on February 26 as earlier scheduled.

There are also indications that stakeholders settled for a postponement owing to logistic gaps in the convention planning.

The President is expected to meet with Governors of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, on Tuesday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The meeting was initially scheduled to hold last Tuesday last week before it was put off shortly before the President travelled to Brussels, Belgium to attend the EU-AU Summit.

Most of the APC Governors were said to have arrived Abuja Monday for the Tuesday meeting before they heard of the cancellation through the Progressive Governors Forum, which is the umbrella body of APC Governors.

Chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum ( NGF), Dr Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti state, who was sighted at the Villa earlier on Tuesday left as soon as he knew the meeting had been postponed.

Othe Governors sighted at the Villa included Professor Ben Ayade of Cross River state; Yahaya Bello of Kogi state; Senator Hope Uzodinma of Imo state and Mallam Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State who were said to have used the opportunity of the visit to discuss issues affecting their various states with the President.
