The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has shifted its convention to March 26.
Before the announcement by the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) yesterday, the signal was an indefinite postponement.
The committee said the change of date is to enable the party to organise zonal congresses across the six geo-political zones on March 12.
It was learnt that the governors protested the indefinite postponement by sending a strong signal to the Mai Mala Buni-led caretaker committee.
This led to the decision on the one-month postponement.
Sources said the governors are unhappy that the caretaker committee took a unilateral decision to postpone the congress.
The caretaker committee informed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of the zonal congress date in a letter yesterday.
