That is what he always stated to ensure the decision of making Bitcoin as a legal tender in the country. And we cannot blame them whether he is true or not.
Because maybe this is fit enough to his country, (or his ambition only).
however, lets see it positively. If many more people and countries will support Bitcoin, it is good enough, isn't it? Moreover if Bitcoin is accepted as many more currencies by many more countries. Even it seems to be very difficult to ignore the power of Dollars, I think that very hard to stay away from dollar and replace with BTC.
Even BTC is the current and also the future, Dollar will always exist and accepted in all countries in the worldwide.

let's see again what will be said when the BTC and crypto are in the exact bearish era. I wonder how all people in that country will look like. Hopefully everything is okay
