The purpose of this paper therefore was to examine the July 15th letter of former president Obasanjo to President Buhari. The paper employed Critical Discourse approach to deconstruct the text with a view to see how the writer used various linguistic devices as persuasive elements. It was found out that the writer employed various ideological modes and linguistic elements to successfully register his opinions.
