Senator Adamu's political career began in 1998 when running on the platform of the now defunct United Nigeria Congress Party (UNCP), he contested and won a Senate seat representing the Kebbi Central constituency. The results of the election were annulled soon after they were announced. Following the death of military dictator Sani Abacha and a brief transition period, new elections were held.

Aliero was re-elected in 2003 for a second four-year term and was one of only four incumbent ANPP (the APP was later renamed All Nigeria People's Party due to a factional split) governors to maintain their positions.
Aliero left the ANPP and joined the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in February 2007. He contested the April 2007 general elections for the Senate and won under the banner of the PDP.
