Journalists covering the ruling were already gathered to cover the event when the postponement was announced.

The assistant national secretary who announced the postponement did not State the reason for the shift neither was the new date announced.

But Nigerian Pilot correspondent gathered that the postponement might be connected with the reported demise of a relation of Senator Kashim Shettima the vice presidential candidate.
