This paper investigates the use of pragmatic features in speeches delivered by the former Prime Minister of Cameroon (Philemon Yang) on the Anglophone Crisis in Cameroon. With the help of Searle (1969) Speech Act theory, we found out that, the speeches comply with illocutionary acts. Data was collected from the Prime Ministry, Cameroon Tribune and Google and consist of one hundred and fourteen (114) utterances. Using a checklist, we identified the utterances and classified them into different types of illocutionary acts and bringing out their functions. The utterances performed illocutionary acts of directives (requesting, ordering, advising, inviting, warning, questioning, forbidding), assertives (asserting, reporting, clarifying, stating, informing, boasting, claiming, describing), expressives (deploring, congratulating, thanking), commissives (promising) and declaratives (declaring). Of these illocutionary acts, assertives were sixty (60) in number and covered the highest percentage of 52.63% and the acts represent the ideologies of the speaker which are the call for peace, the dropping of guns by the boys, the resumption of schools, the call to vote for the ruling party the CPDM (Cameroon people’s Democratic Movement), and the stop of violence. It was recommended that, in order to completely put an end to the current Anglophone crisis that erupted since 2016, the representatives of the government like Philemon Yang and others should try in their subsequent visits to the North West and South West Regions to make speeches that will contain more illocutionary act of expressives with functions of forgiving, apologising, deploring, regretting, directives with functions like appealing, begging and commissives with function of offering. Through these illocutionary acts and their functions, the populace will get their ideologies, and gradually calm may return and a platform for a genuine and inclusive dialogue will be established so that the problem can be completely resolved.
