Marie Sock has distanced herself from tribal comments by a woman believed to be her sympathiser.
An audio recently emerged online of a woman conversing with Sock during which the former insulted Mandinkas. It angered members of the public who then asked Ms Sock to condemn the comments.
Sock in Facebook live address on Friday said: “That should never have happened no matter what. We’re one in this country. We inter-marry and we’re all related one way or the other. In that regard, I Marie Sock sincerely condemn that this should never happen again as we do not tolerate tribalism, bigotry and diversion.
“The Gambia is a blessed nation with beautiful people from rich diverse tribes, cultures and traditions. Therefore, we cannot afford to be divided in the society, our country and in Africa as a whole.”
