Kodjo was born in Sokodé, Tchaoudjo Prefecture, Togo.

Kodjo participated in the creation of the Rally of the Togolese People (RPT) ruling party in late 1969 and became the new party's Secretary-General.

Some villages in edemma ay claim to Igala ancestry, but live today as Igbos since the division of the country into states and geo-political zones resulted in their location in the southeast of Nigeria. Due to their origin, they are referred to as Northern Igbos because of their closeness in ancestry and location to Northern Nigeria, as well as their location in the northern part of Igboland.
