The Senate seat is currently vacant following the election of Senator Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo as the deputy governor of the state.

Dickson in a tweet  thanked “all members of the PDP for according me that respect of not having a contest at the primaries but as they know, we have to keep working until everything is over.”

Dickson, a former member of the House of Representatives if elected will join several other ex-governors in the Senate.
