The postponement was communicated through a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of APC, Felix Morka, who said a new date would be announced.
NEC and caucus meetings have not been held since former governor of Kano State, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, became the National Chairman of the APC.
The delay of the APC leadership in convening the meeting has raised concerns among some top party stakeholders.
During a national conference held recently, immediate past governor of Kaduna State, Nasir el-Rufai, who is among the founding leaders of the APC, disclosed that various organs in the party have not been holding meetings.
Earlier, a former vice national chairman of the party in the North-West, Mallam Salihu Lukman made similar observation.
Lukman had expressed worry over the delay in convening the NEC to address a number of issues as the highest decision-making organ of the APC.
Lukman, who later resigned his membership of the party also warned that the APC was drifting from its foundational principles, including being a progressive party.
