What you said is not wrong, but if you were him, what would you do in that situation?
One thing is certain, if he stands up and exposes the hypocrisy of the rest, he will be removed from office or worse, he will be killed. Not only that, the safety of his family members is even threatened, or worse, ends tragically.
If you live in a country that values human rights like the United States, you will likely be defended by the opposition party for your actions. But if you come from a third world country with a corrupt political system: either you quietly resign or you die if you don't adapt to them.
Politics is not as simple as you think, just stand up, expose and fight, you will be supported by everyone and become an icon. Once you enter politics, you either die or join the crowd.
In my country, many honest politicians suddenly died and their families disappeared overnight, those stories are still circulating among the people and that is why no politician dares to stand up for the people these days.

There are so many bullshit in this world.
Most people only know how to judge other people, but if they were in such situation, they will swallow their own spits instead of doing what they said before. It's completely hard to fight against corruption from the root except you're the president.
If he live in North Korea, I really doubt he will dare to not vote Kim Jong Un in presidential elections.
