Indirect objects are functionally the objects of prepositional phrases in which the preposition is missing (e.g. I gave him the book. = I gave the book to him.) If "wait" is used as a verb, the preposition is included, causing "wait" be be properly labeled as a prepositional object rather than an indirect object. For example, we might say, "I wait for her." but we don't say, "I wait her."

"Wait" may be itself be the indirect object of a sentence in its infinitive form (e.g. "Her plan was to wait."). Without the infinitive indicator "to", however, the infinitive normally serves as either an adjective or adverb (e.g. "You made me wait."), not a noun, and therefore not an object.

In short, assuming you mean to use "wait" as a verb, I'm unaware of any case in which it can be used with an indirect object.
