He explained that “recent developments in the party” necessitated the decision, but did not offer specific details about the internal issues.
The National Working Committee (NWC) approved the delay at an emergency meeting on Monday, stating they will communicate the new NEC date later.
The postponement occurs as the party prepares for its elective National Convention in November and faces a new wave of high-profile defections to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Specifically, Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah is scheduled to defect to the APC on Tuesday.
Furthermore, speculation suggests that the Governors of Bayelsa (Douye Diri) and Taraba (Kigbu Kefas) may also soon leave the party.
