how to prepare a create table statement

I am trying to create 500 partitions using a loop:

do $$
declare
counter integer := 0;
begin
while counter <= 500 loop
PREPARE create_table(int) AS
CREATE TABLE mbk_auth_method_$1 PARTITION OF mbk_auth_method FOR
VALUES WITH (modulus 500, remainder $1);
EXECUTE create_table (counter);
counter := counter + 1;
end loop;
end$$;

problem is that a CREATE TABLE cannot be prepared statement..

Anyone know how I can accomplish the above? Seems like this is a missing
feature - to prepare a CREATE TABLE statement..
