After her renowned speech at the Golden Globe Awards, there were growing talks that she might run for office in 2020.
Speaking to Style magazine, she addresses the rumours saying:
“I’ve always felt very secure and confident with myself in knowing what I could do and what I could not,”
“And so it’s not something that interests me. I don’t have the DNA for it.”
Winfrey says her friend and CBS This Morning host, Gayle King, had been “calling me regularly and texting me things, like a woman in the airport saying, ‘When’s Oprah going to run?'”
“So Gayle sends me these things, and then she’ll go, ‘I know, I know, I know! It wouldn’t be good for you—it would be good for everyone else,'” she continues.
Winfrey further adds: “I met with someone the other day who said that they would help me with a campaign. That’s not for me.”
Falling in love is beautiful
Find love and move on
Don’t let the past weigh you down
I hope you would get married sha ooo
Keep making your money
I support you on this Oprah
@tolu are you supporting her when she’s not competing for the presidency
Oprah knows the risk and benefits involved.
She’s the type that loves being with her fans not hiding in bullet proof cars because of terrorist and oppositors assasins
Once you get in trouble, they would run and leave you hanging
Do let anyone push you into what you don’t want to do
Oprah please keep doing what you do best
They will still be more better offers that will come forward..I love women that applies intelligence in making decision
Finally she made up her mind..
I respect your decision madam,its better you don’t go into something that will make you add securities,stay indoors and watch out for opponents..
I pray she win because this days now women no longer rule a country again,like for example the president of Liberian is no longer a woman but a man,so good luck to her.
@hassan please she’s not contesting OK.she is told by many to go into it but she’s not interested
just try and recapitulate this idea and give a try in 2020..vision 2020 is all yours
@kazeem I think she will but not now
Oprah wonderful..i so much cherish you. running for president would have been a good idea
rumours travels a lot.. but when your agenda is different, no one can change that
well winfery it seems people want you to context for president but that is not in your line anyway..as you have publicly declare no interest
It would have been awesome if she took up this position. She will do wonders in the government. Love you Oprah.
Yes uwah the first thing she should first do is to tell all The Us residents to vote her on the day of election.
@imaobong yes but she dosent feel comfortable with it.maybe the seat is not just her style
It is a nice decision that she made up her mind, not anyone decides for her or even pushes her to contest for presidency unlike Buhari, atleast she has said her mind to the public
What has buhari got to do with this. Buhari chose to run presidency. He wasn’t forced
Na you con sabi oooo, na my country abeg ? shift make I go
@owolabi you are very funny
I envy her sucess anyway. You rock oprah
It is good she has opened up and not allowing anyone decide her life for her
No be by force ooo to run for presidency.
