To extend the wires you'd have to make a splice inside of a wiring box. In
your case, it would then be covered over with the drywall and hidden.
It is against the code to make a splice inside of a wall or any location
that is not readily accessible. No hidden joins inside of a wall or
ceiling. There will not be enough wire to just pull it over to the new
location.
