The Kogi West Senator announced this briefly while attending the Senate plenary with neck support on Wednesday after thanking his colleagues, members of the House of Representatives, his constituents and the Nigerian populace for standing by him during his travails with the Senate.

He also took his time to thank the leadership of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for their support and asked the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, to mandate the sergeant-at-arms to create a seat for him at the opposition wing of the chamber.

Dino thereafter announced he would sit beside former Senate President, David Mark, pending the time a seat will be allocated to him.
