After taking his seat in the Senate in June 1999 he was appointed to committees on Labour, Women Affairs, Agriculture, Information and Social Development & Sports.[4] His constituency contains the ecologically and economically important wetlands on the Hadejia River, threatened by changes to water release due to the upriver Tiga Dam.[5][6] In a May 2006 debate on the proposal to allow President Olusegun Obasanjo to run for a third term of office, Kirikasama opposed the proposal, describing it as an attempt at "legalising the illegality and constitutionalising unconstitutionality".[7]
In the April 2007 elections, Kirikasama ran for governor of Jigawa State on the ANPP platform, but was defeated by Alhaji
