To me this seems more like public relations than biography. There is no hint of anything negative about the man, despite his involvement in various dubious activities. For example he's been accused by the Federal Government of asking foreign powers to train 'jihadists' and his followers have spoken on state radio denouncing Shia Muslims. He was also instrumental in Nigeria becoming a reservoir for the polio virus by spreading rumours that the vaccine is designed to make Muslim women infertile (see this story on the BBC) and blocking vaccination in Kano state.
